  I'm aware of that. But at some point ignoring a runaway thread
becomes impossible. My options are bloating my killfile (which won't
work since they keep changing the subject line), flaming people, or
making fun of the whole damned thing.

  If the participants in this thread could see how hard the senseless
meter is pegging, they'd have to pie their *own* faces.
  That applies to the arguments and views I vehemently agree with, as
well as the intrinsically stupid ones. <<INSERT SMILEY HERE!>>
