1. self referential failure.
You cannot post the don't post anymore X threads without violating your own stricture. Lead by example.

5. No it doesn't.
Taser all who post taser threads.

There. I refute you!

Look and behold, here it is another taser thread, all after the time of the edict 'thou shalt taser thread no more'.

15. I understand your point--
Like that idiotic "Countrywide" commercial that has the guy saying something to the effect that countrywide can do it better than anybody--thus intimating that that they can do it better than they can do it.

Had you added a time sequence, such as 'taser all who post taser threads after midnight, tonight,' that would satisfy the conditions.

10. If I start a taser poll...
Does it count.

I would never want to deprive Skinner of the Benji, ya know.

14. Two sure-fire ways to achieve failure:
1. Ask people not to post about whatever they've been posting about.

2. Say "Can we all agree on X?" with expectations that everyone will say yes.
