Pointless threads should just be allowed to die a natural death. If they're that lame they'll just drop off the end eventually. I think that considering it a violation of the board code would be totally wrong - how does anyone know what is to be judged 'pointless' before they post? And how much hassle would it be for the admins to go round removing them and then take any bitching from the poster? 'If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning, concerning matterof fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames: for it contains nothing but sophistry and illusion.'
'The heart of man is made to reconcile the most glaring contradictions.'
