I used to be, mostly due to timezone differences where I’d be late to the thread. But now I am a valued contributor who presents insightful commentary worthy of a response. On occasion. I hope. ---

I don’t kill every thread I post to…just the ones I thought were really interesting. :smack: ---

Regularly.\ I’d like to believe that my witty insights just stall the conversation and people are too struck by epiphanies to reply, but I suspect that not to be the case. I had a dog that was struck by an Epiphany, or maybe it was a Buick… Clearly a case of karma running over my dogma…Yay Monday! :0P ---

_raises hand_ If there are so many of us, it’s a wonder any thread survives. Although, of course, the last person to post in \*this \*thread must have some sort of meta-thread-killingness about them. ---

I’ve been afraid to post again in case I kill my own thread. ---

I have this talent as well… It always makes me feel somewhat rejected - like, “What did I do (again) to kill this thread???” It might be why I have so few posts relative to the time I’ve been reading. A bit. ---

See now I’m thinking I should make a note of each of your names and post after you on every thread just so you feel better. Clearly I’m insane. ---

I am the king of the threadkillers. First I wondered if maybe it was because I’m on the wrong side of the pond, so that my timing is always six or seven hours off vis-a-vis the Yanks – but then I realized that I am far from the only European around. I now blame an ancient Gypsy curse. ---

Lindsay Lohan: Darn it, Debbie! You are not going to spoil my visit to Disney World! Now, I didn’t say anything at “It’s a Small World” when you went on about low birth weight in babies or during the fireworks when you started talking about Feline AIDS… [Debbie Downer:](http://vimeo.com/41787619) It’s still the number one cause of death among domestic cats. [frustrated, Lindsay leaves] Debbie Downer: By the way, don’t forget the sunscreen. I had a mole looked at the other day and the doctor said that based on the size and shape of the edges, I am flirting with that melanoma thing. [everyone else at the table gets up to leave] Debbie Downer: OK, I guess I’ll meet you all later at my favorite ride; The Hall of Presidents. You know they never did catch that anthrax guy. ---
