Agreed. I'll just have to devise some method to keep posting from beyond the grave to be sure you never win when you outlive me.

It reminds me of a funny, but somewhat mordbid story. We got a new voice mail system installed at a place I worked in the early 1990's. They have a trainer from the company that provided the system give classes to small groups of employees. One of the features we found most amusing was that you could send someone a voice mail and schedule it for delivery any time in the future. So in class we sent each other messages to be received a month, or a year in the future. We all had forgotten about this, and a few years went by. During this time one of our coworkers died of a heart attack. Six months later we were all freaked out when a bunch of us received a voice mail from our dead ex-coworker. Nobody had ever disabled his voicemail account.

We agreed that ghosts can't kill the thread, didn't we? I think the same would go for posts sent by some other means by a dead person.

Strange, a while ago I thought I heard something which sounded like a crackling fire. It seemed to come from the bathroom. But when I looked, there was nothing there. Spooky. Must be those hallucinations again.

There it was again... It really freaks me out. 🙁 Maybe I should join "Mad as the Mist and Snow". Button.

You have to remember this thread now has enough history to have accumulated several ghosts. Perhaps an exorcism is in order?

Indeed. Will you do the honors?

Good idea. Maybe people like Arby or Deejay could help us with this?

Last I checked, exorcisms were for demon-possessions not hauntings.... You can't exorcise a ghost, you can only try not to make him/her angry....😀

Well, okay... But we don't really know what we are dealing with here, the thread could very well be possessed by demons, too.

I hadn't thought of demons, but they always show up on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" so why not here?

Maybe a poltergeist?

Possibly. There could be trolls, too. And the general forum seems to be possessed by a demon called Vladamir.

Don't trolls only hide under bridges?

Yeah, I see RHP has been infected with the Vladimir virus. It's people like him that makes me think there should be a quota on number of posts per day.

Yes... And it should be possible to block challenges and PMs from specific users.

Trolls don't only hide under bridges. Some are so big that they wouldn't fit under a bridge anyway. They can be mistaken for a mountain. Others are small and shy and hide in threads.
