The 'First Joke Thread for 2004' could be closed now please .... it's quite enough of a bulky file when downloaded.

Hi, Robin - we don't close threads any more because of size. You'll notice on the Forum Menu, that the number of messages for long threads is a clickable link. If you click that link, you'll see that the thread is nicely split into segments.
I deleted your second joke thread and moved the messages into the first one. If you really want to, go ahead and start a second joke thread - but there really isn't any need.

welll,,

I did what I did because the thread is over 150Kb and takes

1) ages to download

2) accumulatelively burns larger & larger chunks of download allocation. I have stopped opening really large threads like MOAB etc.

OK - no more daily jokes...

If threads are too large, you can open them in segments by clinking on the "number of messages" link for that thread on the Forum Menu. Apoparently, Robin does not wish to do that, so I reopened the second thread for those who wish to use it. I see no need to close this "First Joke Thread."
