5/6     Thank you mindless boring axe wielding Self Appointed Motd Censor
        for cutting yesterday's motd to ribbons!  It allows us all the
        opportunity to learn what is important in your life without the
        worry and bother of sorting through all these other topics!  I
        have restored the motd in order to allow us all to see your
        brilliance again and again!  --SAMC #1 Fan
        \_ Wow. I'm so enlightened now that crap is back. Could you please
           get rid of it again now, samc?
           \_ A clear case of 'missing the point'.  The threads had enough
              interest to enough people that they grew to what they were.  If
              they were crap they wouldn't have.  If SAMC had actually posted
              something for once instead of just deleting stuff mindlessly the
              motd would be more interesting.  This isn't *your* motd.  We're
              not all here to keep you personally entertained.  There are many
              threads here of no interest to me at all but I don't purge them
              as crap because of it.  It does no harm to allow others to
              discuss topics of no interest to you.
        \_ great. now you've restored two suck-ass threads.  Can you feel
           the surge of free speech?
           \_ suck ass?  You're what?  16?  Maybe a thread on Britney is more
              your thing?
              \_ Grow up son -- sometimes people swear....even adults.  Deal.
                 \_ what's really funny is that you just insulted some random
                    anonymous person by saying they're immature for calling
                    some other random anonymous person immature.
                    \_ True, but you seem to have missed the point.
        \_ as much as I hate SAMC, I think the below two threads have been
           stagnating for a while... they were interesting but seem to ahve
           run their course.
           \_ They were still getting traffic, it had just slowed a bit.
              Anyway, my gripe isn't that dead or even slow threads get killed.
              It's that they'll get killed and nothing will be posted to
              replace them.  Yesterday's thread is better than an empty file.
              Also, SAMC tends to leave plenty of dead threads around so I
              know they're not getting killed due to age or lack of activity.

        \_ samc can also mean stupid anonymous motd censor.  --jon
