All joking aside (I know, I know, that's beyond the pale of belief) and taking the founding post at its word, it seems to me that if a Catter thinks a thread is overlong and/or has worked out its possibilities, (s)he need only quit reading it and go elsewhere. Others may carry it on, forward, or down the tubes (as the case may be) if they like.

It's rude, methinks, to say, in effect, "I'm bored; everybody else ought to quit discussing this."
