And that thread is only up to a little over 5,000 posts now. Miniscule actually.

I support this cause wholeheartedly.
Go, go, the backlogless,
No more reading backlog mess
It was causing too much stress
Now I'm going to sleep

Hey Clive, can I join the glorious revolution?
but, I join on the sole condition that renaming Thursday 'Thing' does not mean that the sacred words of The Great Dressing Gown Wearer (also known as Arthur Dent) be rendered insignificant. As we all know, he said 'I could never get the hang of Thursdays'. We'd have to re-translate it so it was: 'I could never get the hang of 'Thing' !
Unless I've missed the point and we are doing this in homage to Great Arthur!
...In which case its okay of course!
...Oh and Inkwash? Great poem!

Hi kaz - of course you can join the glorious revolution!
Would you like to choose a title for yourself? We are quite keen on awarding titles to people who want them! The more grandiose and silly you can make it - the better! If you want some inspiration - there is a pull-down list on the manifesto itself.
When you've choosen your title - I'll make it all official and stuff and present you with your regulation titanium Spork! (It's half-way between a spoon and a fork!)

Can't get gabbled and all official-like until you have a title. We can't have people just lounging around without jobs here you know!
