Analogies=dead threads (was RE:Open, anonymous services and dealing with abuse)

["Rainer Atkins" <raineratkins () hotmail com>]

Is it just me, or is it a clear indication that a thread is ending its 
useful life is when people start debating the merits of the analogies that 
have been posed rather than the original subject matter of the thread?

Or, maybe a thread is exhausted when the analogies start to crop up.
