She likes to start new threads for people who have slower connections, since posting a reply requires bringing up the entire thread on the reply window.  We've complained at her before, since some of us like big threads, but she really does have a good point.  And this thread is kind of hers, since she started the first incarnation of it.

well that's a change of tone for you EUOL since you got on her case the last time she did it.

That was a thread we had started, and she tried to hijack it.  That's different.

In addition, I had the complaint that that thread was going to be done soon--it was the NaNoWriMo thread--and I wanted it all archived in one place so that I could look over our discussions.  These Stupid Titles is different--it will last a long time, and there isn't really any reason for it all to be in one place.  That is why I complained.

No, as I remember it, EUOL got on my case for doing it to the Word Sense thread, which was started by Sbihoah (or something). He said it was alright to do as I pleased with this one.

I whined, and have since gotten over it. ;)

EDIT: EUOL is right . . . it was the NANOWRIMO thread. Hopefully we get to start a new one for 2004. ;)

I think this thread is disjointed enough that it doesn't matter.

And the other topic has been dead for 4 days, so now is probably a good time.

I, also, did not know that the pages loaded slowly for other people.  Now that I understand their reasoning for starting new threads, I'm far more willing to respect their opinion.  My reason for wanting a longer thread was far less valid than MoD's reason for wanting to start new ones.
