I'm with PeterK(Fionn). Not on the politcs, on thread name changes. it's very confusing if an old thread (when Arafat was still alive) is now converted retrospectively to one where he is dead on November 11. It makes some people's postings read very oddly until you examine what's going on carefully. I can see the logic, Joe Offer and co like to combine all threqads about "Dirty old Town" into One Big Thread if they can, but tjis aim can lead to a lot of confusion in some cases.
