    I always consider it to be a bad thing if I am the last person on a thread, especially if it is one of my own. It is as if I may have written gobbledegook or waffle and no one can be bothered to answer or continue on any longer. However, the idea of the last post as a positive thing, as the last word is interesting, with the idea possibly being because people are speechless in awe.

    Also, it is often assumed that the threads which are long are successful. However, in some cases, some controversial inflammatory remark is made which provokes endless responses. With short threads it may be that people simply agree. When there is a final post it is hard to know if it is the ultimate word or simply that people have found threads which are more exciting and stimulating.

    That, I believe, was the original question in the old PF.

    It does happen sometimes that someone puts everyone in the thread straight and that is the end of it. But most threads just peter out after multiple repetitions of the same ideas by several posters and a lack of new input to keep it going.
    You also have the threads were there is no answer to any of the ideas being discussed even though everyone believes they are right.

    I'm still doing OK dear lady. Been keeping mostly in the background for a while, but still trying to keep up with what is happening to everyone.

    I hope things are getting better for you.

    I will be honest, but don't laugh at my stupidity.


    I discovered this thread randomly. Well, I was checking the threads posted by Hanover, honestly. I put a bookmark on thinking about posting something. If you go to Wikipedia, you can see an option called 'Random', where the logo of a dice appears. I clicked and then appeared an article about a skull, but it was in Spanish. I switched the page to the English version, and then I read 'supratrochelar' in the picture.

    You have no idea how alike we are then. :wink:

    Try this:
    find any topic in Wikipedia, in English.
    In the main article, click on the first link that is not Italic.
    Do the same on the next articles.
    By the time you have reached the seventh or eighth article you should be looking at something to do with philosophy.
    It does not work for everything but it should for about 90%.

    The true philosopher-kings: the editors of wikipedia!

    More seriously I'm not surprised. Philosophy attempts to tie concepts together pretty frequently, and I'd say that a lot of topics of knowledge which are prone to encyclopedic treatment arose out of a philosophical impulse. Such as encyclopedia>American English>Variety (linguistics)>Sociolinguistics>Society>Individual>Entity>Existence :D
