If you consider a thread that you start "your" thread then it might be in your best interest to leave now. My staff knows how much I dislike people starting threads for no other reason than to regard it as "theirs"...The ONLY reason you should be starting a thread is because YOU have something to say on the matter, and you wish to give others a place to express THEIR opinions as well.
If you want something that you start to be "yours", start a forum.
But be willing to
share.
