Even threads I like and rec--but don't need to see again. A lot of poll threads have gone by the boards that way.

My vain hope is that tonight posters will restrain themselves and not post a new thread for every one-sentence idle thought. It will be crazy enough here and difficult enough to follow without seeing tons of unnecessary threads with a comment that could have been posted in an existing thread.

The best of luck to us, my friend.
