Who gets the last word on a PoA thread? Is this decided because the main posters lose interest in the topic, forget, feel that someone is being stubborn or is it some other reason?

I ask because sometimes I browse old topics and when I do, I pickup information that I was unable to absorb when the thread was active. Sometimes it brings up new questions, sometimes not. Some threads have a resolution, others are cliffhangers with the final post killing the topic leaving the reader unsatisfied. If PoA threads were a novel, its authors would have a never ending revenue stream, for the reader would feel compelled to get the next book.

But NO! It's not a set! Not a series! Not a sequel! It's a random all-over-the-place and nowhere at the same time ball of fustercluck




and I like it.

It was the sound of the rain.

The sound of the rain, it muffled the the rest of the night sounds she had grown used to.

Easy! Just pop into a thread, have your say - then leave, never to return! You can get the 'last word' in on every thread you read!
 
Dear Penthouse,

I never thought these letters were true...
 
She thought to herself, 'I've got to get out of Seattle. This rain is driving me nuts." However,
 
Damn Charlie. Why did he stoop to such a dastardly new low? But she had no choice really, driving out here and risking her life...if she ever wanted to see her baby again.

Baby was her most prized horse, a contender for the Kentucky Derby. Why had Charlie stolen Baby in the night? Revenge?
 
It ends when someone comes up with a really good recipe for rutabaga compote.

What? You didn't like my recipe for roasted rutabaga? Ok, here's your compote...

Chunks of rutabaga and apple are simmered together in a spicy broth. Serve as an accompaniment to roast pork or veal.

  • 1 pound rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 3/4 cup sweet white wine, such as Gewürztraminer
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tart apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
  • 1/2 cup raisins
1. In a wide saucepan, combine the rutabaga, wine, orange juice, and butter. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until the rutabaga is partially tender.
2. Add the apples, sugar, cloves, salt, and cinnamon sticks. Continue cooking, uncovered, over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Cook until the rutabaga is tender. Add the raisins and increase the heat to high. Stir constantly until the liquid is reduced to a thick syrupy consistency. Remove the cinnamon sticks, spoon into a decorative bowl, and serve warm.
