Subtitle log

PAA:

First post – excellent, thanks. (I’d seen that post, and really should have remembered it.)

Second post – Regarding your first subtitle, I think that’s how subtitles were originally meant to work.

Regarding your second subtitle, it was actually – very briefly –

“Baki in all things ?????” before changing to your current one,

which is most definitely not a typo, but was made in response to your assertions about genai in the thread you linked to.

(That’s another one of those threads I haven’t gotten around to

thoroughly reading and thoroughly responding to…)

I found both the subtitle change and your response (which you linked here) hilarious.

You can ask the mods and other posters for confirmation – it sounds like you didn’t see the interim subtitle.

Randomex:

I really had an interim subtitle of “Baki in all things?????” ?

I never noticed it. Was it before or after my comment about genai? I just thought that in response to my genai comment, a moderator gave me the subtitle “Baki in all things genai” so I did my duty and pointed out the typo. Now your telling me that there was more to the story.

Nope, you got it right

wallflower subtitle used to be “for her to be able to tolerate me”

(sorry I couldn’t resist ;P)

Actually, I’ve been thinking about it, because I want your subtitle changed, but I’m not sure as of yet what to. (“Harping on” is usually used negatively, and given that you “play by ear so don’t really know the official lingo*,” I don’t need to look up the meanings of the terms you used (though as a music nut, I’d still like to someday) to doubt both that you had a specific meaning in mind, and that your current subtitle actually makes sense.

I have a number of ideas, which relate variously to your use of the CR rather than a harp to understand philosophy [the meaning of the posuk], your “opening” of philosophical discussions (with a harp, perhaps?)[the literal meaning of “eftach”], and attempting to retain some link to your current subtitle.

I’ll b’li neder try to finish up and get back to you.

(P.S. The only reason I haven’t addressed this yet is because I thought I’d do it in the thread where you requested the subtitle,

and I haven’t gotten around to really going through it and writing responses to whatever I want to. I don’t like to make

partial responses to a thread – if I do it, I usually say so at the top of the post. But this place moves so fast… The way I do things, I just can’t keep up, despite spending too much time on it alreaady.)

Now this, again before continuing (unless you already understand):

But if you couldn’t be bothered, and skipped to this point,

just read this:

Public Service Announcement

“for her to be able to tolerate me” was never Wallflower’s subtitle. Cozimjewish was joking – see here (note the thread title): http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/1-on-your-shidduch-list/page/2#post-542166

cozimjewish: You should thank me for keeping your joke funny for posterity by preserving its context, and for saving you from accidentally deceiving and/or confusing people. 🙂

How many Mods are there altogether?

Say, 29, why didn’t you just edit your response into my post?

(Also, you are one of the subtitle guys – I’d forgotten about this:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/do-the-moderators-enjoy-giving-subtitles#post-541659 )

So, if you enjoy giving subtitles, how about a new one for

Avram in MD? I mean, we can see that he’s Avram, that he’s in the CR, and that in the CR (just as in MD), he is Avram.

—-

Avram in MD’s subtitle as of this post was “Avram in the CR,” but that might well change soon – see above.

vayoel moshe:

Assuming you’re sincere, which is quite a stretch:

What you’re talking about is known as your username, screen name (sometimes abbreviated as SN), or, simply enough, your name.

This thread is about what appears under the name you “asked for” – in your case, [Member].

Mod-29:

Thanks for the idea of using italics to indicate quotation – I hadn’t thought of that, even though I’m sure some people dislike

the look of <code>/backtick text, and <blockquote> takes longer to type.

If I use italics, though, I’ll add quotation marks (I’ll use them with backtick text as well – until now I hadn’t thought to [facepalm]).

Randomex, I think he was being sincere. He discovered the coffee room and feels a need to put his name by every thread….

Seems to be a popular way to begin a career here

Love the R’ Trollish subtitle! The inadvertent troll!

“Randomex and PAA, which subtitle would you give me if I wanted to change mine?”

This should go here:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/suggest-subtitles-for-others-okay-and-yourself

Re: PAA’s subtitle

I don’t have a perfect memory, but “?????”

and “genai” aren’t exactly similar…

Mod, are you sure about this?

(Also, I protest the deletion of my earlier post on the

subject, which I assume the mods will not deny existed.

I posted the same things in another thread without it

being taken down – why would this have been different?)

Theory: a moderator (not this one) tried writing ????, but it came out as ????, so immediately changed it. -100

Whoops! I wasn’t in CR then so I just took writersoul’s word for it (though I quite like “of being a member” better than “of having a subtitle”!)

**************************CORRECTION************************************

Wallflower’s subtitle used to read “the perks of having a subtitle”

(Better?:) )

“It wasn’t exactly original, either.”

I don’t agree. (I meant original, as in creative, which I still think it is.)

Does anyone remember what Coffee Addict’s subtitle was before

he said “mine could be having withdrawal symptoms” and it changed?

(I will point out as well that withdrawal symptoms result from not

engaging in one’s addiction, which hardly seems to be the case here.)

Letakein Girl:

Nice lyrics, thanks 🙂

eftachbchinor:

“Let me know how that works for you.”

Mod, were you talking to me? I’ll see what he says and then see if it works.

He was talking to me. My post in response to you originally

read as he quoted it: “because I want to change your subtitle.”

He was either commenting on the fact that I’m not capable

of doing so, not being a moderator, or that my statement could be

interpreted as expressing intent to change your subtitle, something I would not actually be able to do.

cozimjewish:

“(Not a) Mod1097 subtitle used to be = not a mod – Not even close”

It’s kind of interesting that it changed to “Blocked” (the standard subtitle for a blocked user). I know of a case in which a blocked user retained their subtitle. (At least, it made sense that the user was blocked, but I can’t be sure of it.)

>>>>

“This should go here”

I didn’t think of it earlier, but I did later,

and you’ve reminded me:

Your joke should have gone on the shidduch list

thread where its context is. In fact,

you can still put it there – go ahead!

(Make it “apparently used to be,” though.)

Randomex:

If I recall correctly, back in the day Coffee Addict’s subtitle was “once killed a troll with his bare hands” or something like that.

?? hashtag??

I think my subtitle is silly but dont have a good suggestion at the moment

ivory:

Why is it any sillier than… never mind.

This one. Didn’t realize it was a deleted post.

“Do you think your subtitle should be changed to [Make that seven]?”

Huh?? Why??

Mod-29/cozimjewish:

Maybe it was actually here:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/quick-subtitles#post-542720

#Mods- Please put Beh-beh-beh as cozimjewish subtitle…

Todah Loadah!

I’m still waiting patiently (or not so) for my new subtitle. Randomex, you’re out of ideas or something?

I haven’t been thinking about it – I’m not so good at sticking to tasks, especially when I’m always finding new ones… How about:

EftachbCR – Harping on [philosophy / philosophical themes] ?

_____________

Seeing as this is the subtitle log, Eftachbchinor’s

previous subtitles have included

“Harping on harmonic and beautiful undertones”

and [current as of this post]

“still waiting for my new subtitle.”

eftachbchinor:

More ideas (you can see that some of them were

incorporated into the last one):

More like eftachbCR

Philosophical discussions, that is

Harping on [philosophy / philosophical themes]

>>>

There’s no rule about subtitles personifying people.

In fact, PAA claims it’s a g’nai to a person

to think that a subtitle could personify them…

eftachbchinor:

Herr (or was that on purpose too?).
