		   In the last 2 months, I've noticed that I've managed to kill 10 threads, which, coincidentally is almost how many times I've posted. It makes me think that if I posted more, I could single handedly bring DPC to a screeching halt. I'm sure most don't realize the burden this puts on me having all this power and the pressure to use it only for good. It's the same when I shop at Costco or the supermarket... I get to be the cart that they put the "This Lane is Closed" sign on.  Yes, it's a heavy burden... but, I should consider myself lucky. At least I'm not the guy behind me at the store.  :D

		You can play in the 'Last Wins' thread.  That game might get stuck for a couple of days, but I don't think it will ever end.  (Ditto for Whattheheckisit.)
 
 On the upside, if you do kill the 'Last Wins' thread it means YOU WIN! |

		Well, just to make sure that your new thread didn't die at birth, I'll take the risk that I am the one to kill it. (Btw, I already have a fair count of kills myself.)

		| Oh and you're not fully accomplished until you actually start a thread and it kills itself! Nothing like being the first, the one and the only! |

 I've a couple of those. Nothing quite like watching your post slide slowly off the front page.....like watching a paper sailboat sinking |

		Ok, enough. I'm back to demonstrate how it's done, so pay attention... 
 
 or not.  Maybe I'll wait a few more postings. LOL!
 
 Yea, if I start a thread and kill it in the same post, I always hide the evidence. That's why I rarely start a thread... it's much better to be someone that finishes it, than starts it. And it is good to see that there are others that know how to put a stop to a thread as well. Nobody hates to finish alone. :D

 Anybody (with more than ten threads created) with a better Posts/Threads Created ratio? :-)

		| I have a soft spot for threads that no one replies to. I often feel like it's then my duty as a human being to make sure that person knows that people care, even if it is just me. |

		| The threads aren't really dead...sooner or later, they'll be reanimated as zombies, often by spammers. |
