I thought I was holding my own pretty well, but I see a mere 5636 prior to this post. And if I subtract the number of posts to MOAB, that goes way down (though I have posted some quite remarkable thoughts to the MOAB!).

I noticed on a shall-be-nameless gardening site that once the thread got remotely off-track (guy started talking about killing squirrels in his attic on a thread to do with keeping squirrels from eating your bird seed) the moderator came in and closed it. This was after I suggested his last rant was just because he wanted the last word, that his point had been conceded, and that his last post was disengenuous. I put all of this in the mildest of terms--but they stopped it anyway (probably because they knew my mild terms might inflame the SOB). For all that we complain about guests and member behavior, I am glad the latitude on what can be posted here is much greater.
