Thank you so much Lecks.
This is certainly my song, and perhaps your song too.
Great post

I'm also running this as an experiment to see how long this thread takes to drop down to page 2 and thence............outer space.....in flames
To enable people to have a say WITHOUT stopping this thread from going down in flames I've included a simple poll.
Just re read my original post and wondering how on earth someone reading this could POSSIBLY misunderstand the purpose of the post

Have you considered running for the Presidency

I had understood this to be you actually asking for an answer. My apologies if it was unwarranted.

Apologies.
I can see how this might be confusing to a native English speaker NOT born or living outside the US

This has been a rather unusual thread.
Intended as a meeting place for those whose threads had failed to arouse sufficient interest to last more than a night (or a few hours), it was the target of a personal attack (ironically, another example of a thread going down in flames 
)
There seems to be plenty of angry or simply unpleasant exchanges on some of the forums, from time to time.
These are generally discussed IN the 'flaming threads'
That's one of the reasons I started the 'Got anything positive to say' thread
There didnt seem to be many places for people to say something deliberately nice.
I thought the 'going down in flames' thread would be a natural meeting place for those whose threads had not found interest with WP members.
I treat my threads that do 'go down in flames' as a learning experience and also mildly amusing in that I didn't 'get their attention'.
It is actually pure democracy in action and I love it 
Some whose threads have gone down in flames may actually have been upset at receiving no (reply) acknowledgement after a very considered thread opening post.
All of the above remains in the spirit of this thread.
It will be interesting to see how much further this thread will stretch from its original intended purpose.............as set out in the first post of this thread.

This thread was started just a few hours before the other thread of a similar name, seen just below this one in the forum list (as I type), was started.
Anyone who bothered to read the first post on this thread would probably have understood that this was about threads that draw little or no interest and quickly fall into oblivion.
Flaming is quite a popular term on WP forums for unpleasant reponses.
It was somewhat ironic that this thread was prevented from 'going down in flames', (for a few days anyway), due to 'flaming'.
Enjoy both threads as they are reunited again
