heh- i think i opened up a can of worms with my post earlier, taking it to mean we kill the thread.
my earlier post was not suggesting we kill the thread. keep going at it forever, if you like- it isan interesting read and disk space is cheap.
at the time it was more a suggestion that since okiscopey's post was original, funny
and summed up a lot of earlier points of view i thought his post could act like a great full stop to the thread. imagine reading this thread in a year's time- the first post you read would be his humorous addition and well, there you go.
perhaps my post earlier should have read:
" perhaps the thread should end with okiscopey's post
because it's a laugh ain't it! "
still, i write these things at work and often my typing does not keep up with my thoughts.
