I've just noticed that I'm often the last person to post on many threads...

So...are you, too, a thread killer?

(This is in fun...just something I thought about last night as many of my posts seem to be the last of dying threads).

No Nylan, you aren't the only one.

People don't kill people, threads kill people.

Haha. Then I must point out that if someone were to kill you, they'd be a killer thread killer's killer.

This is just a ploy to get people to post in your thread to show that they are the thread killer. BUT YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED!!!

Nope. I've posted in numerous threads, and most of them went on after I posted. Some of them even go on forever...

I was for a while there. It was never on purpose.

The trick is so summarize the entire thread to that point, reiterating every detail, opinion or piece of info mentioned, then conclude with all conceivable options, leaving no more to be said.

I've kicked the habit now and try to leave somewhere for the next poster to go.

What do you think?

Yes, yes I am.

I am the one who killed the thread that killed Glendale Viper's friend.
