yes, it's a thread about a thread but I thought it was useful to take the side issue off line.
Sometimes on a dramatic thread (like the one where the op caught her husband with the OW) I get the distinct feeling that, after the initial support given to the Op, lots of people just pile in to "mark their place" on the thread. Some on that thread were blatantly just posting a full stop - how rude. 
. All followed by lots of speculation and conjecture and demands for updates. I've seen it before, like on the pregnant DSD thread.
FFS if you have nothing helpful to add (but are still concerned for the OP and want to get an update) just press "watch this thread" and stay away.
Caveat: I know this doesn't apply to the majority of MNers. The rest - please learn some manners.
