You know, I'd go ahead and look, but I'm just going to make the assumption: all the great threads of 2006 either were started or dominated by the class of 05.

You have only argued that 2006 was a better forum year. I'm not even going to bother to debate this topic, and instead sneer down upon you from high on my horse and say that the spoiled little 06 children have quite a bit of work ahead of them to prove that they weren't all just the beneficiaries of some truly superior elders.

I will agree that there is no one from 04 really worth mention anywhere, though.

Hey Stone_Rider glad you agree. I thought I heard other voices inhere...but unfurtunatly my 2004/2005 fire wall is switched on. Oh well, if you'r carrying out a bit of charity by entertaining the OLD classes, remember to speak SLOWLY and LOUD. If some of the members start crying all of a sudden don't show that it embarrass you - it's just these outburst of raw F, they can't control it. In case any from 2004/2005 has a little accident, the diapers are in Rhu's PM box.

You'r a nice guy - keep up the good work!!!

Yes, it is up to us to make 2007 a positive and prosperous year for INTPc. The future is entirely ours. The OLD classes are just going through a phase of denial, which is totally understandable. It is our duty to be understanding, accommodating, and tolerant towards our elders until their hour arrives, which is precisely why we allow them to post here! :)
Eventually they will get over it, though. They will watch happily from their deathbeds, safe in the knowledge that INTPc is in good hands.
