   OK, as I have absolutely no idea of who/what's being discussed here,   
   beyond the request to move most of the crap from there to this group,   
   I'll stop here.

   OK, I haven't noticed exactly at what point you get involved, but I have   
   noticed that when you do (or Steve, Steve, Sandman, Alan, and probably   
   others), the built up history between you does tend to come out.   
      
   At that point, that branch of the thread becomes destroyed. As it seems   
   that most people in the group are well aware of the history, wouldn't   
   moving it over here accomplish just as much as leaving it there? Both of   
   you could indulge yourselves, Google would still keep a record of   
   everything, and life would go on relatively normally for people not   
   involved....
