Winston Churchill became prime minister on this date in 1940. Auspicious!

Are we the first thread not in the vein of the Word Association threads to get locked for length on the new boards?

EDIT: Ha, yes we are! And also the second!  I forgot this is the third AFFSHC thread!

Unfortunately, G&D closes threads at the lower end of the post/page threshold (15 post/page) while I view at the high end (50 post/page). This means we only get up to page 29 0r 30 before God and Davion locks it out.

Actually, there have been AFFSHC threads reaching 100 pages and being closed since ca.2002 I've lost count of how many there have been - Geoff might know.

I'm fully aware of that.  I was referring to the new boards, specifically.  Seems that in addition to being the most professional military in the Inner Sphere, we're also the chattiest.

And don't forget the monster thread that preceded (and positively dwarfed) the 100 pagers... and helped get that 100 page rule in place.

If I were interested enough to find out on my own, I would have.  I was just making small talk.
