Okay, in all seriousness, kumquat will remain the fruit of his first choosing. Child of Flame is much more descriptive of the artist formerly known as Servant of Eru. Gorth should come to master his fear of apes and fruit. Alan should get over his infatuation with pictures of flame throwers.

The common thread running through this topic is that there is no discernable thread. That means the thread is about, indeed, nothing. In reality, however, the thread is about those of us on a message board. It's about community. For that reason, I am not closing the thread just yet. I feel a closure coming, but as long as I can convince myself that Darque's thread has some worthy feature, I will hold the hand that locks.
