OK, listen up, let’s get this thing straight: First of all, there was never such a thread. Secondly, the thread was never closed. Thirdly, it was already closed when **samclem** found it. Hope this clears it up for everyone. ---

Heavy lifting in the defence was done, of course, by imperialist capitalist Britain, inadvertently aiding the northern North American proletariat. ---
