Or let it live to be 100... pages.

Can I be here when you kill it, Paul? Can we all take turns smashing it to little bits?

Angela pleaded that I wait until it got to 100 pages, but I've learned that I'm not that patient.

I need a reason?

How about: It's fouling the formatting of the big-list-o-topics for MD.

There has been some internal discussion on this, and the result is that for the time being the thread stays open. It won't be limited until it's 5 years old, or 100 pages long, or some such limit. Unless we find that the 100th page actually does break something, in which case it would meet a very sudden death.

Angela begged. Jim and EFH came to her rescue and changed UBB.

I think it was more of a plea than a beg ... but I'm glad it worked
