Must be because of ruminations on the Big Boar Theory.

It is interesting...

Last night on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC's) broadcast they announced they were shutting down the comments section because of a very few people polluting the comments.

Apparently only a few people (and/or perhaps bots) were making the comments section so negative that no one wanted to read them, including the original authors.

I found this interesting...

And I took pride in the fact that we here at MersenneForum.org can fight off what national news agencies apper not to be able to.

The CBC guests explained that it would cost too much to have editors monitoring and moderating the comments.

Hmmmm....

Well, we do know that cows often, if not continuously, ruminate.

not to wreck the thread but depending on what you call a record the PARI commands thread didn't take more than 37 days to blow past 1000 posts I just checked now that I have 97 posts per page to easily check for dollar sign threads.

Police in America say a burglar was eaten by an alligator after hiding in a lake

Quote:
They say the victim, who may have hidden as officers investigated reports of two suspicious men in the Florida community of Barefoot Bay, was probably killed by the three-metre reptile.


The dead man's body was found by sheriffs' divers in a nearby lake 10 days after the incident.
The injuries were consistent with an alligator attack.
