The obvious answer to that is... maybe.

Nope.

I try and get all the thinking out of the way before I start ... so I don't have to stop.

In the army, stopping to think might not be recommended when one has to be on the move, though thinking when one has already stopped could be another matter, of course.
Some people (not me, you understand) might say that for many people, thinking in general is not regarded as being good/best practice, but I couldn't possibly comment.

I could be wrong, of course, but I suspect that indicating a virtual dead stop in a forum discussion thread doesn't, of itself, necessarily qualify as indicating that one has oneself actually stopped anything. However, if @KodeZwerg was a virtual person - e.g., an AI bot, as some forum "members" seem to be - then it could be considered as a stop of sorts, but not a dead stop, as virtual persons (e.g., AIs) can't be killed, by definition, since they are/were not actually alive in the first place.

But have you ever stopped to think--and then forgotten to start again?

I might be willing to Think Maybe if there was something in it for me.  However, I cannot think what that might be without thinking for nothing, thereby defeating the purpose.  :D
