The reports of the death of the demise is greatly exaggerated. It's not so much the boring thread as the boring missives of the people delivering to it.

There are always important topics in every thread but it only holds as long as there is intelligent discussion to guide it without rancor, accusations and personal diatribes.

If someone is bored by what is being said, the option is to ignore it, not to belabor the point by introducing a smart-assed comment.

Also, remember that being bored is a characteristic of a boring person.

Meanwhile, what is boring to some may be intriguing to others.
