I agree with msr, this thread must have run its course by now and should be decently laid to rest.  Even on the TOT boards - where I would have thought this should belong -  we are not allowed to have threads which run longer than 20 pages so I have no idea why this has been allowed to lumber on in this way.

I am thoroughly disgusted with those who say the topic should be over by now.
It is the same ones who are saying this all the time so the obvious thing to do is not read them when someone puts something on for the enjoyment of others who are still enjoying hearing some of the old sayings.
They can always put a stop sending me emails regarding the subject - or do they just like to disagree because they can?
