Has there ever been a thread that stayed on topic after three pages?

I heard an essay just yesterday regarding that issue. There was a line that I particularly appreciated. It was from the author, a woman, addressed to younger women and had a very poetic turn of phrase to end the essay:
...when you are older,
and ready for scars
and knowledge. |
Maybe it's just the former English Lit major in me,  but I hope you guys enjoy it, too.

Thats why I tend to read just about all of the threads, regardless of the topic. You never know where a thread may end up! ?
EDIT: I just noticed I was promoted! Hooray!

Well done Sgt!
I was promoted last week too, but preferred my old Title. I guess "Admiral" had a nice ring about it for me...

However, I have a grave and deep concern ?
There is a forum demon that hunts me, really I am not crazy, just ask PG or Neal Hunt, they know
It has stalked me ever since I started working on Epic-A way way back when 
The first time it was kind, sorta just a warning shot across my bow, as it were, and the number of the beast then was 759 
The second time the beast ?toyed with me and let me get the holy number up to over 800 before the next shot came
Then it was cruel, the beast ?had made me believe it had gone, it let me bring the holy number up to 1200, but alas it hadn't gone, and as sure as the sun will rise the shot came in straight and true.
I am not kidding, every time I get my post count up near, or just over, 1,000 the forum I am on either folds up or changes and I gotta start back at zero again
In an attempt to sooth the beast in the SG forum I have started to count backwards as the forum counter moves forward, hopefully this will confuse the beast.
I can only hope he hasn't followed me here into this sanctuary, *looks left and right and then makes the holy sign of the emoticon*
