Y’know, I am an idiot. I make this admission of my own free will. What saddens my mother is that I make it with pride. Anyway…

If there is another thread for nominating threadspotting topics, I missed it. I THOUGHT maybe the classics thread, but I wasn’t sure. Anyway, I would like to nominate the following thread:

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25317](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25317)  
It’s new, but by next week when a new thread is needed, it will probobly be great. It shows every sign of goung multi-page fast. If this topic is a duplicate of another that I missed, TUBA, would you please close it and direct me to the right place? Or just hit me on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.( but remember the above suggestion)  
Thank you  
Dave

Thanks, Dave. I’ve sent this to Ed’s attention. No promises, but you never know.

I don’t know if this thread qualifies, but I like it, because I learned a thing or two about the plague, and it has a good first post (see the post by \*\*Dr.One-L  
\*\*).

A la UncleBeer, I’d like to nominate this thread:

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25199](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25199)

I think I tied up all the loose ends, and I have a history of researching and eventually answering questions that I have posted to GD.

Submited for your approval.
