But, why would a topic be raised and when it is responded to be met with such a hearty number of others who reply with demands to not broach the subject.
I think that if----- asking a statement ----- generates so many replys then that is what is called a 'hot topic' Hot topics are just what any message board needs.
I'll bet in the future should this subject come around again I will be thoroughly bored by it.
I would probably not reply to it at all so as to allow it to die a natural death.
Hot topics are one thing, but wasting bandwith is practically sinful.
