Thread Name: BS: Taking a Break from BS
Subject: RE: BS: Taking a Break from BS
If I read what the free choicers say here I am reminded of the German expressions 'hang it a bit lower, please' or 'don't you have it a bit cheaper'. What for you seems to be a question digging deep into the human soul, freedom, human rights and all that, is for others a mere question of convenience and time management.
I picture them going to their local library and claiming that any attempt at categorisation is futile and superfluous, for all we ever need is the filter of our free choice.
Wouldn't it be even greater if we had no titles to the threads for that is already the slippery slope to categorisation (and how often has Joe said that he likes informative titles, but what gives him the right to impose ....) and presumably wrong titles only lead to nasty arguments of pedants. We can all easily open the threads from 1 to 500 to use our right of free choice. How good was life in the old times of Mudcat when we had 'Desparately (sic!) seeking lyrics' 'lyrics wanted' 'lyrics needed' or just 'Desperate' threads half a dozen a day and we had to exercise our free will without being able to filter, for instance, for 'lyrics add' and nothing else.
