Thread killers - Hey Darkcloud, get your abacus out! Suffering from ads?

I suspect I kill more threads (make the last reply) than anyone else.

Maybe Darkcloud could do a study and tell us who the most deadly thread killer is?

MrFun comes to mind as a premier threadkiller.

Edit: And before I get in trouble for personal attacks, let me point out that I mean this in the best possible sense. I don't know what that may be, but whatever it is, that's what I mean.

You would also have to adjust for postcounts. People who post lots will be more likely to finish off the thread. Perhaps as a percentage of total threads posted in would be an accurate measure of thread killing ability?
