How Many Merion Threads Can We Fit On The Head Of A Pin?

...or, on the first page of GolfClubAtlas?

Never have so many shots been fired with so little ammunition as in the past two days.

I haven't been paying any attention (not having read much Merion melee in the past), but have those Oakley - Wilson letters been posted before?

Bill,

No, and I'm glad they were posted.   I did thank Tom MacWood for them and in fact I was the one who posted them in the larger thread.

I'm more than happy to discuss anything in those letters.

The firing without ammunition is taking place on most of the other fronts.

Well, perhaps a dash of reality will help!

...so let's just add another useless one such as this. These are just depleting every ounce of my enjoyment on this forum.

How many Merion threads can a Pinhead spin?

Innumerable, apparently.

We should start a website for those addicted to such tripe.  How about, getoverit.com or whogivesashit.com

Better yet, just go start a Merion History website and see how many participants you'll get.

At some point, all of this banter does a fundamental disservice to the real purposes of this discussion group.

If Barney can get banned for his crude dialogue after proof thereof, why can't we hope that these threads will get deleted.?

Seriously Mike...you are a valued contributor to GCA (as are many others that participated on the various Merion threads), but COME ON give it a rest man.

Only 10 people on this entire forum even give a shit, so why do you think all this bickering and adding stupid (Anthony Grey-esque) threads makes it any better?????
H.P.S.

Terry,

I agree..that's why I was trying to keep it to a single, albeit long-running thread.

That way we could keep all of us loonies in one room.

Pat,

I agree and apologize.

I think I momentarily snapped upon seeing the 5th or 6th new Merion related thread in 48 hours and I started projectile vomiting and ended up posting this short rant.

Is it easier for a Merion thread to pass through a needle's eye than a camel, or something like that?

Mike,

Since you seem to start the most threads on Merion you have an unfair advantage with respect to knowing the answer.

Due to recent research, it has been found that the mere mental or physical association with anything involving the Merion Country Club can cause lunacy.  Accordingly, the USGA has cancelled the 2013 event there, as it is considered a risk to the entire golf world's sanity. 
No actual golf rounds were ruined or delayed, nor golf rules broken, in the taking of any photographs that may be displayed by the above forum user.
