I bug people. Are you a hired gun, or something. Should I pay for protection ? Becky was the name of my first love. What are your strengths, anyway ? ---

I didn’t know threadkilling was such a thing. I’m not well versed in internet stuff, but what is described here is funny ! This must be where those with personality reign. I feel the same as many of you. This is a pretty fast track. I tried wading into the deep water and it was over my head. Aren’t new threads born continuously, though ? what’s the worry ? ---

I am often very good at killing conversations. Maybe I should try killing a thread, I might be good at it. ---

Let’s attempt to quantify this… On the first page of my Subscribed Threads tab I’m the last post in 10 of them. Who’s got more? ---

I’ve got nine such on my first Subscribed page (ten(_) counting this one), and 11 on the 2nd page. I also start a lot of threads that go nowhere. Once, in GQ, I asked a question related to the thread question, was told to start a new thread if I wanted to pursue that less interesting matter; did so; got zero responses. … While the original thread turned its attention to the question I raised. :smack: (_ - it would be 11, but after my threadkiller in the GQ thread about funny charactersฏ๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎๎ํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํํ someone reported the thread to Mods for title edit.)
