Unintelligent design (recurrent laryngeal nerve)

At least in concept, a proper topic title does much to define the intent and scope of the topic. That said, my impression is that most members are oblivious to what's in the topic title.Please change the topic title (via editing message 1) to directly and specifically connect up with the message 1 content. And don't include any "IDiot" in it.Please post an "OK, done" type reply to this message, when you are "done and OK".Adminnemooseus

Thread copied here from the Unintelligent design (recurrent laryngeal nerve) thread in the Proposed New Topics forum.

I don't know if we've done the "summary messages only" routine yet, and I really don't care.I think this topic might be a good example of the value of the old "shut a topic down at 300 messages rule". Such a specific topic theme should be easily cover-able in 300 messages. And this one probably was.Closing down no earlier than in 15 minutes. Per Percy (aka Admin), propose new topics as you see fit.Or something like that.Adminnemooseusps: The reopen request link is in the "signature". For such to happen requires justification.Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Add ps and turn on signature.
