2nd the motion for delay!  i was away from my computer for a whopping long 
time: a day and a half!!!  after a somewhat slow week.  i come back to find 
that 150 new posts.  ok, that's fine, no complaints.  but to see a new 
thread has been started, mutated vigorously, and had pizza called on it 
before i got to see much more than the -first- post of the thread, is a 
little off-putting.

i note this started on dec. 11, morning, and by December 13, 2006 9:57 AM 
(as noted above) the pizza call has mutated its own threads.  that's just 
weird.

not sure how i'd implement a delayed pizza call, but this whole thing went 
by a little fast.

ziviya, enjoying the thread(s)
