Changing the subject of a thread

[10-K]

Dang, I just discovered you can change the subject of a thread after it has already been posted.

Yep...Do you eat ice cream in the winter time?

While not common, a thread can be started on one subject and over time. Question is, can I continue to use Van Doren #5 clarinet reeds whilst spending too much time with dutch rush working them down, or should I just go ahead and use a lower strength reed like #3 or #4 and spend less time adjusting them resulting in a slightly weaker tone?

Did somebody put something in my corn flakes? I am totally confused....

In case I wasn't clear, I meant you can *rename* a thread after you start it...

So, if I started a thread called, "How much does it cost to hike the AT?" I could actually rename it to "Is $5000 enough to hike the AT?" *after* the thread was created.

I just figured that out....

What are you thinking of calling this one?

I got it! Just trying to be funny...Ha Ha
Gotta watch the funny stuff in corn flakes.

So what type of musical instrument should i bring along on the trail? Or that youve seen on the trail? Ive thought about learning to play the recorder because its really light (plastic) and seems mostly indestructible.

A full sized B-flat soprano clarinet will put out more "rounds" than a measly recorder although the standard soprano "blockflote" doesn't use a reed so much of your on-trail frustrations will be gone. On the other hand, a simple plastic recorder cannot blast high decibels as can a clarinet or for that matter a soprano saxophone. I've dispensed with all these and now carry a small pocket freon air horn.

I have the same problem, not enuff room in my pack for the oboe along with the trumpet, ironing board for my town clothes, 24 rolls of toilet paper, and the complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica

For those of us who don't play musical instruments , please tell us how to edit a thread title.

"I've dispensed with all these and now carry a small pocket freon airhorn" just made me spit coffee.

I don't really think you need a water filter

As someone who edits often and has retitled threads when I came up with better titles, I know it can be done but that the window of opportunity for modifying thread titles doesn't remain open long.

I don't know whether it's a fixed duration or a feature of the software that can be modified by an administrator. What I can tell you is you'd better act quickly, the window doesn't remain open long. The duration may or may not be the same as what's permitted before a post is marked as edited.

Another little known fact is that spell-checked posts sometimes need to be modified later in order to remain correct.

I'm of two minds whether it's worth paying for the opportunity or simply not worth posting at all.

Ya know, 9 outta 10 drunk postings are regretted the next day

Thanks for pointing out yet another reason why I have little incentive to donate.

Just use ricos. You won't go broke and nobody (except you) will be able to tell the difference. That's the word from the bird.

I change my threads everyday

I think that we were all reading this "Hijacking a thread". Happens all the time here.

I thought about this a lot. Claves. They are light, durable, never go out of tune and you can carry them in your back pocket. When everyone is jamming, you are sure to be the only clave player,
