All threads do die!

A thread hits the top of the "new answers page". It does so once, or more than once. But one thing is for sure. On it's last post, it hits top and drifts downwards to its nadir and then drops off the page.

Only a little like life. Would it be so, that we hit our apex just before we depart for good?

Would that we could be? with a notice floating above our head, saying "One new answer!"

so you are saying the older you get, the better you get? I suppose that a thread is like a life, in that as it goes on it involves more and more people, accruing more and more stories. perhaps it also the case that as with life, the longer it goes on, and the more people it involves, the further away it goes from the intentions and controll of its creator. It is certainly the case that both end in senile, incoherant rambeling.

And no matter how original you think it is, someone will point out that it's been done before.

and there's always someone arriving into your life just to fuck it up.

...but it can be read and read by a lot of people who don't post and drag it back into the light; we can all be famous, maybe loved, secretly, to admirers we'll never meet.

Everyday creates your HIStory
Everyday becomes a part of your legacy

Sometimes I have to force myself to let a thread go, to die a natural death instead of performing some artificial thread-reviving operation.

Wheeee! Up to the top of the page I go again.

.. Like a thread thrown in the river, weighted down but filling with gasss....

And I suppose some people's lives are like those threads that only get a handful of posts and then disappear, quickly forgotten??

It's kind of like watching a lava lamp.
