The posts weren't like votes on which person deserves to "own" the thread, and I think people that posted and whoever deleted the other thread just randomly picked one. It's just S/mileage so the thread probably won't end up having more than 10-15 pages anyway, so people can just look through the thread without the first post being updated with all the info.
Anyway, I like the title. I tend to like those spring songs about graduation, friendship, etc, and this sounds like it'd be one.
