I nominate this thread to be the longest threat on LUGNET. So far, there
have been 305 messages to it in lugnet.off-topic.debate, and the
wide-ranging discussions included but were definitely *NOT* limited to:
o the divine or perverse nature of Perl as a way of life;
o the sacrilige which is Windows;
o the distance Ed Boxer can hurl a microwave (to be fair, he didn't
indicate whether it was empty at the time);
o the attack upon, and defense of, Libertarianism;
o the theory behind keeping salaries secret;
o gun control;
o the responsibility of the government over those governed;
o the hidden costs of health care;
o the interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and the Federalist Papers;
o tracking down the ISBN for a good copy of the same;
o the hidden costs of education;
o the ethereal quality of happiness;
o the wisdom of smoking;
o the hidden cost of free goods;
o the consequences of swearing in public;
o the true location of the Ozarks;
o techniques for surgically removing spamcake from Tom's messages;
o the wisdom behind not attempting a left-hand turn while driving in
Boston;
o the wisdom behind not attempting to drive in Boston;
o good drama on TV;
o and Hitler was mentioned several times.
Plus, it had threatened to assimilate the following groups:
o lugnet.off-topic.fun;
o lugnet.off-topic.geek;
o lugnet.off-topic.pun;
o and now lugnet.admin.general. :-,
Whew.
Cheers,
