I'm sorry Hon!
Some goober came along on this thread and posted 600 gazillion gigabytes and PINGED me to it.
I'm on dial-up, so now my comments page takes 5 or 6 full minutes to download!
This is the only way I know of to get it OFF of there....unless you might have another suggestion???
(she said hopefully??)

Couldn't you have created a thread in the smokey backroom or the HTML sandbox. This is an ongoing thread.
uh...I know! I assume you have your comments set on "full" meaning you see the full text of the comment with the poster, time, etc. as it appears on the threads. If you go to the top-right corner and click the "brief" link underneath "ping|mail|etc." then you will get your pings as only the title of the thread, poster, time, and post number. If something like that were to happen again, you can switch to this view until you have gotten enough pings to get it off the screen.
You could do it on a dead thread instead of this one.
