I like my clone threads. One thing they aren't is: designed to be taken serisouly.

BigV -- I agree, with the exception that I do like Our Man Flint's clone threads. I generally find them amusing, and not mean-spirited.

I also agree with RK.

More zen, less rage -- that's my motto.

wrt clone threads:

I could have been more discriminating in my post. The clone threads don't approach the level of destructiveness represented by the stupid hateful hollerin goin on.

I called them clutter. An annoyance, to me. When trying to filter through the cellar data stream, they present two areas of difficulty for me. One, by themselves, they present a lot more stuff to wade through. Two, they offer a place for the corrosive hatin' to happen. I don't have an answer to this, or even think it rises to the level of a "problem".

I have specific instances of posts and threads I find much more troublesome than the clone threads. The clone threads I can disregard with impunity. Upon reflection, they don't belong together.
