Your trying too hard to capture lightning in a bottle. The duplicate ToM repair thread going to a novel about nothing is one of those organic things that just needs to happen on its own once and a while.

I will not participate in this thread. I will not announce that I am draining it and putting everyone on ignore. I might make a thread announcing my deactivating my account, leaving pinball and becoming a celibate monk. But only if Robin lets me comeback and sell my collection. (pinball, not my Pez dispensers, those go in my grave. Even if I am cremated. Boy that will be a mess)
