Default Whence spiral galaxies?

On or about Thu, 21 Sep 2006 07:28:25 -0700 did "Starlord"
dribble thusly:

And in another billion years, our galaxy and M-31 will start the dance of
death and will endup sometime in the far furture mearing together to become
a vastly bigger spiral galaxy.


Actually, all the models I've heard of predict that two large spirals
always create an elliptical when they merge.
