A Modest Proposal

Postby XFool » August 19th, 2022, 8:51 pm

I'd like to make a simple suggestion on how to improve The Lemon Fool. My suggestion is:

No more suggestions on how to improve The Lemon Fool

Why? I (don't) hear you ask. Because, in my experience, such 'suggestions' on TLF seem invariably to: tend.in.the.same.direction

I just scanned the thread titles of the suggestions on this board and could spot no common theme. So no idea what you are talking about really.

I can only assume that you are talking about thread drift. That only applies to a few of the topics on this forum. Can you be more explicit?

Is it too much to expect you might just make yourself clear?

No.

Moderator Message:
Thanks for the suggestion, but lack of clarity on the issue you are observing, despite requests to clarify, leads me to conclude that this is one suggestion that can indeed be dismissed.
