moss, I seem to have been strewn on the wrong side of the tree here. although I am one who left the thread that is under discussion, it was mostly because of the length. the inbreeding I don't recall being mentioned. that thread reminded me of a song my daughter used to sing, to great effect when she wanted to annoy:
this is the song that never ends,
it just goes on and on, my friends.
some people started singing it
not knowing what it was
and they’ll continue singing it forever just because,
this is the song that never ends....
<repeat... and repeat... and...>
imagine how pleased I was to get the chance to post this somewhere.

I suspect that tsuwm has his set at 100 since he complained about the Omegatist thread going to page two. Or was it 50 because he complained about its going past page two? He may find it beneficial to cut that number down a little.
I do have it set to 100, as a result of the board bug that we discovered in referencing old threads (the one where you can only see the first page and then you get shunted off to some current thread?); at the time we were seeing that someone found the workaround of setting the page length to something greather than 20. 100 works well with the guideline of keeping threads under 100 posts. so it's a tradeoff, I guess.

I sincerely apologize for adding to a length that I wasn't aware of. It's apparent that the culture of this board doesn't tolerate excessively long robes. I will mend my ways...and wear new threads.

For what it's worth, I have my one-page display set to 99, at mav's suggestion. I just went to an old thread that had 101 posts, and it didn't come unraveled--I got page two just fine. Flat mode rules!

this is the song that never ends,
it just goes on and on, my friends.
Does this have anything to do with a cat, white carpet, and some gooey chicken dish?
On another subject, Faldage (I think it was) stated that some folks know what Taliban means. I know what it means, but am unsure if the "an" ending implies an article. I've noted of late that, at least in the US, people form double articles, i.e. "the el nino," or "the al kaida," and so forth. Is this kind of ignorance endemic to the US, or pandemic?
