Come on, a page or two of off-topic posts every couple of pages of the thread isn't the end of the world. It's a good thread to watch the changing public sentiment on this issue in the states. There's new numbers out too.

Well, if it's not unlocked I'll create a new one, and if it's locked again a new one and so on.

And if they are all locked, I'll outsource it to MY board (because it's a 2012 issue).

You yourself said a page or two every couple of pages; or, 2 pages every 2 pages, or 50% of the entire thread. I think that's your answer.

It's a 4-month old thread about polls on an issue and the off-topic posts are usually about the issue itself rather than the polling.

It's not like people were talking about their favorite food or anything.

I have to agree with the OP here. It was a few posters who went off topic, and even then the comedy was precious. Wormy sunned it up there with his best post ever. Cheesy.

This deserves unlocked.

Wait a minute. Who locked it? It wasn't me. Mr. Moderate pm'd that it wasn't him and suggested it might've been whoever the OP was, but I think this post shows it was't TB.

Did another mod lock a thread on our page? For now, this thread is getting unlocked forthwith.

There are only four people who could lock that thread:  its creator (who said it wasn't him), the two moderators for that board (who said it wasn't them), and Dave.

Edit:  I forgot Nym too, but he usually lets us know when he gets involved in things like this.

You know, I just remembered accidentally and momentarily locking another thread the other day fumbling with the touchscreen on my new phone, so possibly.... Embarrassed

Have any of you impecunious and humpbacked losers ever pulled off this pretense successfully?
