Strictly speaking, the blank posts used to have content. At the time, it seemed a novel idea that the thread should go to #1 based only on a couple of posts. So we erased each of our messages about 10 minutes after they were written. The "empty post sweeper" didn't pick everything up though. It was quite a sight for a while&#151a couple hundred or more blank messages, all in conversation with each other. Well, it was funny last night at least. Now it's probably just a "head-scratcher". I figure that's how Stonehenge was built&#151some warped senses of humour got together one night to push a bunch of rocks around. Centuries later, it's a marvel.
