You can't let a little thing like that stop you. I don't know nothin' about nothin', but I've made over 1400 posts. Some have even been whistle-related.
I'm not afflicted with WhOA...
There's help for that now.

I find this an amusing statement since you're certainly no stranger to OT topics.

Really Susan? Have you been counting OT vs. On for little ol' me? I think your math is a bit skewed among other things. :roll: As mentioned before, just about all of us have posted to a few of the OT threads at some point, but the main reason we come to the Chiff and Fipple whistle board has been (and I hope continues to be) to gain and share knowledge pertaining to whistles, and all such things as may pertain to the music associated with them. Not all the other completely unrelated threads that have been showing up more and more frequently over the past couple of years. Its little wonder so many of the older and in many cases wiser members don't stop by C&F anymore.
Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan You don't need to be coy, Roy Just get yourself free Hop on the bus, Gus You don't need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free

Really? This surprises me, I thought it would be the other way around: Existing first as a place for people who come across Chiff and Fipple, to find out about and participate in discussions about all things whistle related. I mean, that's how we all came to be hanging out here in the first place, isn't it? Which came first, the Chiff talk or the OT seems pretty clear in this case.......

Ah, oops -- I didn't mean to rank them, just to list them! The OT bit came first only because it's what everyone's talking about. I meant to draw attention to the latter. Sorry it came out that way on.
