Seems like, so often we never really find out who gets the last word...a thread will appear to go dormant for a while, and then days, weeks or months later, someone will comment on it, and then it starts all over again...especially on these CREVO threads, feelings run so high, people are so adamant about their view, that they cannot let go...I must admit, sometimes I also am curious as to who is going to get the last word in, and who finally has had enough of things and just leaves...
Suffice it to say, the one who winds up with the last word, is never seen to be the winner in my book...the one who winds up with the last word, may simply have more time on their hands than other posters...for all of us, real life, does intervene, and hopefully real life is more important, than ones internet life...

Reminds me of something, somewhat off-topic. There's a children's song I learned when my age was single digits:
I went to the animal fair
The birds and the beasts were there.
The big baboon, by the light of the moon,
Was combing his auburn hair.
The monkey, he got drunk,
And stepped on the elephant's trunk,
The elephant sneezed and fell on its knees.
And that was the end of the monk, the monk.
And that was the end of the monk,
The monk, the monk, the monk, the monk....
The commentary in the book I found it in, noted that children would sometimes go on for a long time on "the monk" And days, weeks, even months later, would call out one more, "The Monk!"
Thirty some-odd years after first reading that, I still call out an occasional, "The monk."
