Fred Flame Charges
 
Re: thread name changes.

We've surely all noted the various incarnations that the
titles of certain threads have, uhm, incarnated. I presume
this is the playfulness of our fearless leaders at, uhm, play.
I would agree that some of the threads deserved this, and
wouldn't presume to suggest the end of this practice. In
fact, I offer this post in sacrifice in the hope that the
thread title shift paradigm be appropriately self-referentially
applied repeatedly.

Respectfully yours.

I quote from the sticky "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING"
"Gratuitous thread starters will be prostituted....":smile:

It's (my italics): "Gratuitous [I]redundant-[/I]thread starters will be prostituted ..."

I think we're supposed to ask ourselves, "Is this thread-I'm-about-to-start-for-free really necessary?", not "Am I being paid for this thread-I'm-about-to-start?" :-)

At the risk of me laboring the issue [or if you prefer, eating a dead horse], I would add that the phrase ""Gratuitous redundant-thread starter" is itself gratuitously redundant.

I`m afraid my answer to that shall have to be "neigh" ... we can`t have such a family-friendly forum saddled with such gory imagery. But please re-mane calm, no need to bridle at my declination of your request ... just use your imagi-neigh-tion, my dear friend from Whinny the Pooh land.

[quote=sayad;139802]why is it that the thread name is to be changed ?[/quote]This whole thread is a series of jokes. :smile:
