Ridiculous -- why delete a thread such as this; no one has to open it, read it, or be concerned about it's existence.

File out loud, of course.

By the way, when I asked for someone to 'delete this mindless thread', I didn't mean my post! You got me there.

But, really! sixty-two pages of random words? Isn't writing supposed to have meaning?

Take care.

I've read books that should be as well written as this thread.

Meaningful writing would inherently have longevity which this thread has in spades. Meaningful writing would also create interest which is obvious within this thread. Meaningful writing would be creative which exudes from virtually every "word" of this thread spread over sixty-two pages. Meaningful writing isn't censored by one person's opinion, but stands the test of skepticism. But some will never get the point, so I'll hush with a final meaningful thought: The only person who can delete this thread (other than Sol and why should he) is Corra, who started it. But she is not very active at this time and I doubt would do so even if she were. So, if you're looking for something meaningful, you're probably wasting your time on such frivolous pursuits as trying to delete one of the longest-lived threads -- for good reason -- on the site. Take care. Vern
