How about this. At 3PM tommorrow I will make my final assessment and no one posts to this thread again. This way I get the last word on the thread that I started.

Hi. If yu want the last word then start your own damn thread and proclaim it as "having run its course" and that you want to make a final assessment and, guess what, I would respect that and not make anymore posts.

Then you can walk away feeling like a "big man" that had the last word too.

Otherwise, we are doomed to keep this up and make it the most replied to thread in such a short time, in history.

Now just get your last wrords in and then shhhhhhhhish after that.

"This thread is dead", procalimed the thread starter.

"Elvis has left the building".
Hello? Are you new to bulletin boards and forums and the such.. or just the Internet as a whole? I'm not sure that you're quite "getting" the whole point of discussions. There need not be agreement nor a last word.. and, particularly useful, there might even be a third variable... the compromising solution which might suddenly leap up out of nowhere and savagely tear the problem in half.. usually born out of brainstorming sessions such as these.

For example, people have been talking about what should be in a convergence device or what featurees it should have. If a thread gets to far off course a moderator can then fork it though.
Can we have a branched thread for features we want and another branch for corrections and errata to what we've said so that we can reintegrate these other branches back into this conversation thread?
