I wasn't talking about limited access so much as simply not having it show up when you click the "New Posts" button. That way, only the people actively following the conversation would be subjected to it; to all others, it would just drop off the radar, unless they chose to access it from the Forums page.

You all make good points, I guess I just like to stir the pot occassionally. Sometimes things get said that I want to answer, and I know that if I do, I'll get the thread shut down pretty quickly; I'm sure there are others who feel the same way on different issues as well. Back-fence discussions are fine, but they're limited to the knowledge of the two individuals, leaving the original impetus of the debate unanswered in the forum. It gets frustrating sometimes.
