slowing down or ending a thread

What's the best way to end or slow down a thread.
Silly comments? Stupid pictures AND comments? No real interest since the beginning? Or just saying too much that is plain dumb (me). OR, we have more important things to do on this site? Stop bugging us. Cheers.

I once had the crabs. How's that for ending a thread!

Does that lead to the "stop bugging us" comment? (Sorry, I'll get my coat.)

I never had the crabs (although I was a bit scared with a gal when I was in highschool). I just wanted to see if this thread would end PDQ. You can take off your coat bbloke.

Declaration of personal pediculosis pubis infestation would be a pretty good thread killer. Thank goodness it was a false alarm.

Usually closing the thread does the job (if you've initiated it).

As far as I know there is no way to slow down or end an individual thread. You can, however, slow down an entire process with the renice command or end one with the kill command.




Wait, what are we talking about?
