AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a game where participants guess missing words based on initials provided in questions, exemplified by the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words." Participants express differing opinions on whether threads should remain open for further discussion after being answered. Some appreciate the closure that comes with awarding points for correct answers, while others advocate for ongoing dialogue. The format is generally well-received for its engaging nature, and participants are encouraged to seek discussions in other forums if they desire more in-depth conversations.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.
