while ignoring suman's illegible post, i must say this.
the duck has some things right, but, there are other factors. a mallard may have a different view. while i am not a duck, i spend much time in the water, and some of these critters are my friends.
some snakes are attracted to any post any fowl starts (it could even be a b v. k thread).
frogs prefer any mention of knights. these posts could bring a thread to 1000 posts.
any post with a bird in the title, or, a bird avatar posting will attract other birds.
gators watch the thread go until they can pounce.
any thread with dog or cat in the title immediately turns off posters (except for the gators), but, people are compelled to visit.
if there is mention of a giraffe or a koala, the thread is certain to have at least one page.
