If the talk is long, it would trail off.
If the thread is long, it would snap off.

  1. Hey, D, where in the world are you? I was getting a little tired of reading the long lines, so I thought of tightening it up like this:

    Long talks trail off.
    Long threads snap off.

    This could go for the talks going on in Israel-Palestine (or Israel/Palestine) these days, or at least let's hope not.

    Happy New Year,
    D
