At first, I was a little sad that my sort-of namesake thread was going to fizzle out so prematurely, despite the best of intentions.
But now -- woot woot -- a pointless thread! Hit it, smack it, beat it with a stick, point out how useless it is, but it still won't die! Now that's a thread worthy of the name Hairball!
On the other hand, I am the Master of Thread Killing. With this post, the thread dies. Good bye, sweet thread. We knew you well. OK, not that well.
