The Friday (insert date) "If you are looking for serious woodworking information and discussion you will not find it here" drivel thread thread.
....though I don't think that it fits as it's too big.
That would certainly let everyone know up front anyway.:;

I don't understand what everyones problem is. You still get your Friday thread its just that after one week it won't be kept in the forum database. Why the hell is everyone whinging??

Well, OK, but where is Fri 16th? I'm convinced something dramatic happened after I shot through mid-afternoon. Someone shot JR? Aliens landed? Got to have been something...

Me too stop hoggin it HDT...
I have a theory that the issue was the number of posts being accumulated by contributors to the Friday thread. My guess is some people didn't like seeing others racking up the posts:o :o
It's only a theory please don't shoot me I couldn't keep it in any longer..:U :q :;

That thread was deleted prematurely by accident while a cleanup of the old Friday thread was taking place. Unfortunately due to database problems we cannot restore the thread for viewing otherwise we would have already.

Do you, ahhh, maybe want us to re-create it. I don't know about the others, but I'd have difficulty recalling my input. No, probably not.... dumb idea, forget I spoke.

Why bother having a Friday thread at all?
Seems to be that since last Friday, every 2nd thread has been nothing but more drivel about the Friday thread. Perhaps Neil should just allow a "perpetual drivel" thread instead... with a lifetime ban on anyone who contributes.
Now "Bah! Humbug!" to y'all, I've gotta go and spike some Easter Eggs.

No a perpetual thread would not work:doh:
That would be like if you got sex every day, you wouldn't have anything to look forward to or get excited as the big day approached.
