Threads die when one of two things happen: 1. Someone compares someone/thing/group unfavourably to Hitler. At this point the signal/noise ratio of the thread approaches 0. This is known as Godwin's Law. 2. Bryan C. Warnock says something, at which point everyone else in the thread declines to comment, helping to increase Bryan's level of paranoia whilst leaving him forever stuck on the horns of his own Dilemma. Personally, whilst 2. is potentially funny, I don't think it's necessarily a good idea. It's a bit like the whole "I know, when John Glenn lands on the shuttle, everyone should be wearing monkey masks..." thing. -- Piers
