The august **John DiFool** has suggested a fun variation on my original idea that that folks are welcome to try: That the last poster put in a title-without describing it (instead he describes the previous one by the previous poster). He then in turn puts in a title of his own for the next Doper to riff on. Would make the thread more interactive and fun. ---
