Just goes to show - there are some things that you just can't have enough threads about, and this is clearly one of them.
It also goes to show that you should use a subject line which is relevant to the post topic.
I only saw this one because the other posts had subject lines which failed to catch my interest.
I could have called it hey hey 16k too, but I didn't think that would attract any more attention that what I put.
I also thought it would be amusing if people clicked it and were suprised at it's content. I realise now that I should have entitled the post "New specturm flash video with music entitled "hey hey 16k" is available on b3ta.com, the full address is inside."
Or...maybe, if you don't keep up with the forum, you could have a quick look round in at least the most recent threads to see what's been going on? Or a search on the URL. Maybe. It wouldn't take that much time.

Almost! You spelled Spectrum wrong, but otherwise that would be an excellent subject line ;)

Agreed, but it shouldn't be necessary to read every post to find out the subject. The Subject should be sufficient to determine whether or not the post is worth reading to you, personally.
Anyway, I didn't want to get into an argument like this. I was merely pointing out why I had failed to spot the 3 other posts on this subject :(
I don't really care what people use as a subject line, provided they don't criticise me for not reading their mistitled post ;)

Excellent!
Still an excellent animation.

It's not as if there's billions of new threads everyday.
We must have more important things to worry about than three seperate threads on one subject?
OK, so why do we bother with the subject line at all? Why not have all the posts in one big long list with no indication about what's in them?
Some of us haven't got time to read every post.
