I don't read the copycat threads. My only real problem with them is that there are times when there are so many that they push the more interesting threads off the bottom of the page and I have to keep refreshing the threads for the previous 3 days in order to find the ones I'm interested in. I suspect that there are interesting threads that we lose track of because they are pushed out of site by endless copycat threads... most of which don't get more than a dozen or so replies. I know that I do, as I tend to pop in here and just look at the threads on the screen unless there is a particular one I've been following.

Butr, everything goes in cycles in here. At least it's better than the times when people get nasty and obscene.
