[QUOTE=TheMawn;344063]As for the supermods changing the titles of threads... Do they ever change them to something completely unrecognizable? I just browse through the new posts page for something I am interested in reading, so if it gets changed to something I wouldn't recognize as the subject of a thread I was once interested in, I might miss it...[/QUOTE]Oh dear.

[QUOTE=xilman;344120]Oh dear.[/QUOTE]Yes dear?

Just do as I say, dear.

[QUOTE=Brian-E;344122]Just do as I say, dear.[/QUOTE]Yes dear.

LOL ... ask and ye shall receive.

And they say we're not user-friendly around here.

More Assange:[/QUOTE]Ernst,

Might you have posted that in the wrong thread?

Indeed I did - that's the "unrecognizable" part working its magic.

[NSA stuff moved to appropriate venue.]

Ah, that was a clever subliminal trick - EWM tried to establish an alibi that he didn't change the title. And who would try the hardest to build an alibi? :wink-wink: "If you've done nothing wrong, you don't need an alibi."

You give me far to much credit, sir - I enjoyed Paul's change [accompanied by full 2-word confession: "oh dear"] too much to change it. The classics should be allowed to endure ... at least for 24 hours, say.

[OTOH, subl[u]u[/u]minal tricks, those I pull all the time].
