No. Please. Don’t pass major public opinion in detail. I don’t think we could possibly bear up.

Yeah, but who’s going to trade him for it? That thread is so old that all of the posters themselves are in wooden boxes.

Has anyone reported that this thread may be in the wrong forum? I’d do it myself, but I’m afraid then the OP will wonder what happened to his thread.

Ah, a zombie thread. Don’t get too upset, **Lyknother** , but the reason you haven’t been able to find the thread is that nobody has posted to it since October 2003. It’s been dead for over 8 years.

Don’t let that discourage you from exploring the rest of this site, though. You might find other things that interest you.
