    Fear-mongering is not in vain.

    Indeed. The only viable application for this policy is the one I suggested. Which would be a great way to feed the fear machine, you could periodically "catch terrorists" and let everyone think it's working.

    Isn't that what happens now?

    Also: What is the criteria for locking the chat thread? Is it after hours of searching for the right 'close' comic?

    Elki is actually going through the entire archives of the comic chronologically when he locks a thread. And I think at this point he just does it when he feels the length is about to get out of hand.

    I wonder how long this will continue if w keep quoting each other like this. W could probly reach 40 pages in mere hours.

    Also: Chronological order? That's boring. I think we should have a vote. And then he can lock a thread with a comic that wasn't even on the ballout. Just like in real life.

    So what happens when you reach the end? Can you only lock so 3 threads a week from then on?

    So it's pretty snowy this morning. I got about 100 feet from my house, the road curved to the right, and I did not. I almost drove right into someone's house. Only thing that stopped me was the step up in the side walk that led up to their front door. :|
