How very unrefined for an old blue hat to refer to a forum specialist as a foe! Call in the red caps!

Re the title: What happens when it isn't strictly all-new anymore?
I mean, after I press [Post Reply], my entry will be the only new thing, and the rest will be old stuff?
Can someone then change the name to, say, "somewhat new, somewhat old gripes thread"?

Well,
If it ain´t new gripes, I guess we´ll have to whine about it!

Same as with the first similar Thread.

It got stale and unused, so when something got on my goat, I started a new one. This one.

And even this one only came back to life a couple of hours ago, so when it does become moribund, we will put it out of its misery and start over at a later date.

It's "All New" simply because the original was, ipso facto, Old.

The New referred to the Thread, not to the Gripes ......... Ambiguous, I know.

Just because some lack vigour is not a good reason to close an active thread!

This has turned into the off-topic thread, methinks.

But, if there's something I ABSOLUTELY HATE, it's the powdering of decent, regular, good-old-fashioned-threads with off-topic chatter and what have you.

This must stop! Now!

I can't stand posts where an image is inserted just for a cheap laugh...

Thankfully that hasn't yet happened.

Now, I could be going awol now, but think there may be a word missing in the above post, last word suggestions are encouraged!

No, it's dashes, to be honest.
what-have-you.
I know, I know. The purists would have a "not" appended at the end of the what-have-you, but with modern language usage, you don't need the not.
(Not to be confused with "not that you don't need it", but rather "not need the not", because it's not it, but not's not. ...I think)

And why is the bloody fridge always empty of Holstein's when you need 'em?
Gaaaaah!
Ah well, need to pop down to the shop to fetch a handfull.

I rather think we are getting tied up in nots.
