_Au contraire, frere_; perhaps the thread is stalking the Farmer? ---

Why would you assume the last post is going to be in this thread? Or even in this forum? ---

All due respect, **Euty** has no more idea when the board is going down than I do. I mean, a moderator doesn’t exactly write code or maintain servers. But you go ahead and be mysterious, **Euty**. ---

Maybe the board will not stop, there was a short period when it said the board was down for admin reasons. We may not even have one long continuous shutdown, just a few much shorte ones over the period in question. ---

Maybe the last post will be in this [Ask Me Anything](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=79267) thread. Maybe the last post will be **Euty** answering _all_ my questions and not just a couple of them. 🙂 Abby ---

I dunno ‘bout that **tisiphone** – the board’s are quiet like an empty freeway all weekend. No Sunday drivers, no gawkers, just a sure an’ certain cruise. Now, it wasn’t a trick, 'cause Jerry has done the archiving bit started, anyway), but it’s certainly made for a different few days.
