It is also the way to know if you've touched off a flamewar.

I think I know the explanation. There was a spam user who posted one of those "get rich quick" pyramid schemes in several places on the boards. A few e-mails and posts caught Randy's attention on the matter and he and his staff acted quickly to remove the offending threads. For some reason thread number 1191 was re-used by the UBB software for a subsequently created thread in the oneworld forum, even though it shouldn't have. (Each time a new thread is created in a forum, the thread number increments, so one can tell that, for instance, thread 1190 is older than 1193 just judging by the numbers.)
