[size=1]Heh heh that was a very good read especially the last bit which happens sometimes to high profile or heavily discussed threads, well that or someone starts the same thread over again.[/size]

[Petra]

[size=1]I really had to enjoy that. It was fun to read.

I can only be thankful that we don't have all the problems listed there--although most are present in (thankfully!) lesser numbers.

Last one made me laugh. I tell you, some threads [i]never[/i] die.[/size]

[quote name='Petra']so what's the total?[/quote]

[color=crimson][size=1]The total is 1019. Had nothing better to do, it took maybe 3 minutes to calculate it on the calculator.
That was a great read, just because it was somewhat funny.
I really liked that last one. And as Sara said "some threads [i]never[/i] die"[/color][/size]
