Why was the number 600 chosen as the target value for thread closure

Never you mind.

Duh.

R1 Again the pattern of 3 “never you mind” and there are 6 characters in the name Muriel.

Are satanic rituals occurring?

I can only assume that Muriel chose this number knowing that many gay men are compulsive, controlling, and fastidious about things being a certain way, so chose a number which would infuriate DLers in it's abject randomness.

Muriel has narcoplepsy and obsessive compulsive disorder. She counts seconds. One time she sat on the toilet and when she reached 600 she spontaneously fell asleep.

Then she fell off and cracked her head on the ceramic tiled floor. SHE DID THIS FOR DATALOUNGE.

LEAVE MURIEL ALONE

I should think 400 would be sufficient.

600 is 90.09009009... per cent of 666 (and the "0900" part repeats 666 times.

Is Paul dead?

Obligatory eye roll…

R7 Life of Shrie

It’s the number of men who have been inside that old whore Muriel’s vagina.

R11 why disrespect Muriel that way. Are you jealous?

In the Bible, Noah was 600 years old when he set off on his ark.

He was like many DLers and easily appearing half his age, tho. So he only looked 300.

Anyway, probably not connected… sorry.

Maybe it had to do with the number of pages, when there were pages.

Or Sumerian clay tablets.

Only 600 responses can fit on a floppy disk.

It’s way too much. 300 should be the max. But who knows what logic prevails.

I subscribe to the Dead Muriel Theory. The answer could be lost to time.
