Not a bad thought there McGrath. I wasn't suggesting that there be only one Xmas thread. Just that some of the repetitive "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas" ones be consolidated. I thought the consolidation of repetitious threads on the exact same subject was something everyone agreed was A Good Thing for Mudcat. But apparently there are exceptions. Although I doubt that the same good natured request from a Mudcat member would have received such a ridiculous response as we've seen here. I mean really--do we need 15 threads with the exact same "Merry Christmas" headings on them, just because it is Xmas?
