And then the party starts once again, with the same people posting the same arguments they already posted multiple times over the course of the last years in the very same way, thankful for the opportunity to post them one more time. In total ignorance of the recent developments that happend since the last time they posted them. Interesting mechanism but possibly something I will never get my head around.


I assume/hope that there are always new people finding this thread and discovering the Helix. Seems a little unreasonable to expect them to go back through the whole thread (though in not doing so, they are of course depriving themselves of the chance to enjoy one of the great sagas of the modern age). 1495 posts is alot of history to go through before daring to post an off the cuff thought. As for those of us who trot out the well worn arguments in welcome, surely even you have occasionally enjoyed the sound of your own voice?
