It’s the title of the OP.
Well… the NO LONGER part was nowhere near as obvious as the new [Please Don’t Donate] part.
I need only to point you to the recent thread where the title AND OP said something like "I’m a 44 year old American. . . "
And follow-up posts had shit like:
“Well, I’m not sure if you’re in highschool or what, but. . .”
And
“Well, not sure what country you’re in, but banks in Swaziland are . . .”
Like I said, people are not as observant as you might give them credit for. Lots of people quickly read titles and hit off key words that make them open threads.
I think the latest change with the Please Dont Donate part is more than adequate, though. (For most)
The thread title is always the title of the OP.
So can we finally get that grand total?

Wow! I don’t know what to say except dopers are amazing.
Very cool. Thanks again, Rick, for organizing this.
I am glad indeed to see this happen. I was a bit worried, to be totally honest, when the woman who usually organized this sort of thing passed on (RIP Persephone).
It’s good to see someone step up and take the torch.
Also, my wife just told me that I will never have to justify my SD Membership again. Heheh…
