> [@Leo\_Bloom](#): > > - Question from a newbie: are these contiguous heads (at one time) from one forum at a time? \* You can use two sequential headers from the Main forum. Heck, from time to time people will post sequential headlines from a news Website. But if you do post anything other than two thread titles from a forum then SOP is to let us know that. ---

Name our new dogs!** Liberty and Tranquillity are nice. But Shemp and Bandit are easier to yell in an emergency. ---

Duly noted for the historical record. Thanks to those clarifying the Jesuitical/Talmudic complexities of the rules for this thread–and with this one, at least, I figured part of them out: i did remember the ATMB thread on the mods, and actually spent 0.5 seconds trying to remember if there was an ATMB thread on dinosaur piss, which after 0.6 seconds I decided was unlikely. ---

I’ll stick with my own interpretation of the rule: No main page cross-forum sequential threads. That is, unless it’s funny. If it’s funny, I’ll make one - 1 - exception, and never do it again. And by “never”, I mean “until the next time it’s funny”. ---
