Wow. That was the most successful unintentional troll I've ever made- it
even had a gratuitous reference to Nazism (Godwin's law) and some
mean-spirited sniping.

Friday evening I posted that flippant reply (it's from Aliens and I
think it originally went,"I say we take off and nuke the site from
orbit. It's the only way to be sure.") and, amused with myself, figured
that it might kill the thread. Wrong. I returned from a motorcycle ride
and Father's day visits to find eighty-one messages in the thread.
Impressive (no, not a Star Wars reference).

oh, and Happy Father's day to any of you dads.
