Well, Mr. Moose, there aren't a lot of choices on that one. I did it. There's a standing Bradley directive to make unique titles to the threads, in order to make it easy to find them with the Search feature.
A mile of scratches is an exaggeration, of course, but if you've got a possible 5000 linear feet of scratches, you are not far off.
Having left the forum a while back over misbehavior by the moderators, I thought I'd come back -- and within a day I see that, no longer content to simply delete postings you don't like, it now seems you're actually silently changing other people's content without asking them or telling them.
Yes, I run online forums. Yes, I know it's a royal pain. Yes, I'm sympathetic. But honestly, I'd suggest that the entire experience here -- for you and for all the participants, would be a lot better if you took a step back and started taking yourselves a little less seriously.
