Oh dear.

Ernst,

Might you have posted that in the wrong thread?

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

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."

I don't see the "Last fiddled with by ..." message so I assume that it was done at the database level, i.e. someone above supermod level (I wonder who that could be?).

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, subluminal tricks, those I pull all the time].

Super mods can change titles without a trace but they cannot ninja-edit threads.
