Each post on this thread must NOT be connected to the post it is in reply to and should endeavour NOT to revisit any content or topics touched upon in any of the previous posts on the thread. When we pass the 600 posts/40 thread pages mark and beyond, this will ~ of course ~ become increasingly challenging.
