Subject: RE: Title Change Discussion(moved from another thread)
Those are real problems. But complaining because a thread title has been changed to alleviate confusion is, to put it bluntly, chickenshit.

I probably agree - if that was this thread is about.

But if it is chickenshit to complain about it - is it equally chickenshit to anonymously change these things in the first place and for other posters to complain and request editing action to be imposed upon others?

The issue is NOT clarifying thread titles. If any clarification is required, cannot the same end be achieved end by first consulting the thread title's originator?

The encourgement of posters to request editing action to be imposed upon their fellow posters - rather than encouraging them to concentrate on their own and to only request changes to their own contributions - here and on the Mudcat Help and Trouble Forum - is what the issue is. And is it all part of wider move to find ways to judge the worth of and inhibit posting rather than encourage it.

As can be seen - my first reference to this was not to complain at all - for at that point - there was nothing to complain about. It could have been left like that...........
