well that was a dismal failure both attempts to reply ended up in the original non-cognoscenti thread. all very strange and disturbing
I forgot to say that before I replied the thread listing on the General Discussion forum only shows the one thread the original named
I also noted that on the alternative thread Steve edited his original starter posting and gave this reason
"Last edited by geodeticman.5; 08-05-2008 at 06:41 PM. Reason: change thread name garner more interest"
you vandal you!!!
I had previously found that trying to change a thread title is a waste of effort especially if others have already replied. Instead you have to delete your original posting (which then deletes the entire thread then start over), one reason as well as trying to catch typos that I try to remember to draft my postings and save them on my hard drive
Now I am far from sure that there are two threads.
I now see that posting #1 by Steve on this thread:-
does indeed mention Sly but it was back in August.
I still don't believe that there genuinely have been over 200 replies to this thread though
