<does not detect any progress yet>

<wonders if the general contractor has got all his finances alligned>

Blood! Death! War! Rumpy pumpy! Triumph!

<is amazed how quickly the contractor has got work started>

<waits to see which Fforumite starts demanding "features" first>

<would like to request a dry space in the corner but is afraid she might be too new to rate>

<Wonders why a new thread is necessary, now that threads are paged? Back in the days of yore when threads were not paged, it was done to prevent loading several hundred comments at one time, but now that's no longer a problem.>

<Realizes she's starting to sound like the voice of reason, and shudders at the thought of how dangerous that might be.>

<points out that the treehouse is being rebuilt not the thread>

<Remembers that it was only previously re-built because some people asked for it......>

<proposes OC Not as project manager for the tree house>

<thinks that maybe the reason for keeping the threads short is that you're far less likely to attract a new user to a thread that is pages and pages long cos they may think they have to read all of it and that's quite offputting>

<thinks that the last section was far too serious and stands in a bucket of custard with a lampshade on her head to offset it>

<Pulls in flat pack box labelled "Swiss- Robinson/ Lothlorien style Treehouse pack part1>

<Opens box and picks up single plank of wood>

<Eyes it cynically>

<Sucks splinter out of finger>

<Checks reciept>

Turn the silliness to eleven!
