Of course, now the question is, was this by chance, on purpose, inevitable Evolution, or proof of Intelligent Design? :-D Or maybe we should formulate a new law? $ChanceOfRegression= ($ThreadlifeMinutes/($n[posts] + $n[participants]) "For any flame war on the FBSD lists, the chance that the thread will return to the subject of the previous flame war is equal to the thread's lifetime in minutes divided by the some of the number of posts and number of participants?"* Kevin Kinsey -- * a casual glance shows that if this is true, our chance of reverting to Rush Limbaugh was about 43 percent, and increasing by the hour.
