I don’t recall for sure.

There’s been

the

—Never Ending Thread or some such title.

—The Hobbit thread is still going on, IIRC. well over 10’s of thousands of posts.

—The Threat Matrix used to be a lot and has a new monthly thread every month, IIRC.

—There’s a current RC/Protty hissing contest thread that’s in the 10’s of thousands of posts, IIRC. A lot of Religion Forum threads get quite long.

This thread raced ahead quite fast in a short time. That’s rare unless there’s a dramatic something happening. But I don’t think this is anywhere near any record. But it was a good showing.

Thx.

The leaders have been treasonous for decades.

The Bulk of the Senate probably for many decades.

It’s really hideous.

Daddy was reported to have said to one cluster of friends . . .

“The people would hang us from the nearest light poles, if they knew what we’ve done.” He was reportedly speaking to all globalists.

PLEASE, CHECK OUT THE QUOTES AT THE FR LINK IN MY TAGLINE.

Please let me know how you feel after reading even a 1/4th of the politico’s quotes since 1900.

"What is the longest ever FR thread?"

The maximum length supported by the software allows up to 65,535 posts. For internal reasons, John has restricted this to 65534.

For that reason, on the Original Undead Thread, Dead Corpse posted "the last post".

We were not the first to reach the limit.

On our second go at "hitting the wall", we ran into slowdowns in the system. The Moderators requested that we restrict the length of our threads, and we have done so since that time.

We now move the Undead Thread to a new thread every month. Currently, we're here.

It's Nancy's fault.

Wow... 5 hours....

I was all set to change my mind about at least a few Republicans... But only 5 hours? Seems that they should have taken shifts to keep at least a handful in the chamber all night and on through however long it took to make SOMETHING happen.

I guess, much like in the Senate where filibuster isn’t really that any more, the House reps just don’t have the “staying power” to do anything meaningful.

The Hobbit Hole III thread (which I linked in #2609) shows 65,535. I haven't tried actually posting a reply there, but the reply button still calls up a form.

“You too!

I tried to follow the posts back from yours and others in regards to your post and could not make sense of it...sorry. It’s been a long day.

Just the words: ‘PEAK OIL’ set my alarm bells off because I know how the left uses it!

My Bad.....see you around on the board!”

It happens to a lot of us. No harm.

There is no political ramifications beyond adding to the national debt, which is why I do NOT hope he does it.

I hope the Republicans would keep up the good work...grow some “snickers” and keep up the debate. Earn some of their pay and give up some of their vacation to do the right thing for their country!

We have not been so proud of our lawmakers in...since they sang “God Bless America” on the steps after 9-11.

To: eeevil conservative; All
Now that Obama has reversed himself again and iss now saying he will consider drilling off coast, President Bush should absolutely sieze on this and take the initiative and immediately call an emergency session of congress. Telling the congressional reps that they must end the congressional ban on drilling, particularly now that BOTH Presidential candidates are saying we need to do it.

Either Pelosi will split with Obama on it causing him to fight her or reverse himself again, or they may actually, due to the increasing pressure, pass something.

If they did, then McCain and the GOP reps immediately take credit and point out to the American public how Pelosi and Obama had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the table by the GOP to do what the American people demand and need.

The longest would have had to have been the Clinton Impeachment thread.

Isn’t it still going?

“Why would you think there is a flat direct percentage correlation with demand to price? What I mean by that is....just because demand goes up 10%...doesn’t mean price will only go up 10%.”

No, I realize it’s not linear and not always proportional. There are other factors of course. What I’m saying is that the rise in prices have been so dramatic in such a short period of time, that it seems as though speculation is a more significant factor than anticipated demand relative to anticipated supply.

I could be completely wrong and do believe that worldwide supply and demand drive prices, but I also think we are now at the mercy of speculators and this will only get worse if Obama wins and the AGW crowd gets its way. We have got to start drilling for more domestic oil but I just don’t see this alone bringing down prices significantly.
