The Undead Thread is an unusual aspect of Free Republic. It is a harbor for those odd bits of flotsam that would otherwise be strewn across a trackless ocean, like some wayward airliner bound for the Twilight Zone.

I like to think it is not purposeless, that it provides a kind of continuity and bond that gives meaning to a rather hectic and error-prove form of communication.

We cannot draft you into membership, but judging by what appears to be your interest, let me say that this too, is the Undead Thread.

Thanks for the invite and to the others for advice.

Yeah, it was just a minor issue for me to repeatedly see posting to a zotted thread. I remember the Undead thread and others like it. Guess I wasn’t on when the bulk of the posts were occurring in those. Seems like there was a chat section at one time that didn’t appear in the main feed. Perhaps it never worked that way though.

You guys have fun in here ;) FRegards

While many or threads maybe described as flotsam some are more akin jettison, abandoned to us by there original poster. Zotted threads are the best flotsam.
