Dunno if this has been pointed out already, or if it was done intentionally, but…

Today’s threadspotting entitled “Put the X back in Xmas” is a repeat entry to the previous “Xtians, by god” (see the [Archive Page](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/))

Not complaining - it was a great thread that deserves to be looked at this close to Christmas.

Man, these days my memory is about thislong.

I am so sorry.

(It is a good thread, though.) I’ll find another one later.

At least it didn’t say “Xtmas”.

Well, it’s not surprising that we keep returning to where “X” marks the spot.
