Thread Name: BS: Bernard - Please stop.............
Subject: RE: BS: Bernard - Please stop.............
Bernard is not the only one who sometimes changes subject lines. I think most of us don't even notice it, but once in awhile I'll see that someone has used the subject line to amplify or clarify the thrust of their post. It's not unlike creative titles for e-mails so that if you are one who saves mails, you can recall the thing when you see its snappy title-- a copy-writing thing.

And Joe has suggested (I think) that we put song titles there if a thread is a compilation of lyric additions. So they search up easier I guess, or maybe that was before SuperSearch. If that is still a desrirable thing, then this thread may cause some confusion.

I think it is unfortunate that a thread aimed at a problem is titled at a person. I'd sure be embarrassed if it happened to me. I would hope (ask) that Bugsy might send Bernard a PM to acknowledge that the problem was the problem, not the person. And I'd hope Bernard wasn't so mortified by the thread that he's stopped coming to Mudcat, and would thus miss the PM altogether.

Bugsy, I do have Bernard's e-mail if it would be useful to message him that way.

Also, Jeri, does the topic need to be considered in the FAQ?
