What is the minimum number of letters
to start a flamewar in GD or GD:P?

Someone just posted a thread consisting only of the letters "dp" (death penalty, double penetration). It's got potential.

In GD:P, would "O" (for Obama or Oprah) be enough?

Do I dare test this theory?

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

And then go into a theory about how Obama is bringing about the new world order or whatever.

Edit: Or are we including characters in the actual thread?

If so...hm

8. Nope--that's against the rules.
Body text counts toward the number.

So far HRC=W and BHO=W seem to be the winners...

12. That's pretty good
I wish I wouldn't get banned for going and testing these A-bombs...

:evilgrin:

Actually, I think I can remember a MIHOP n/t thread that turned into a 500-post nukefest.
