Well, will wonders never cease! That's a great feature. Thanks, Dale.
No wonder you're the moderator...or that Rich is.

Probably would happen is my guess...a quick glance at even the ITM forum shows threads hijacked by the usual silliness...Examples:
But those are extreme examples. On the whole, looking over the ITM forum, you'll see it's mostly on topic, with only a little OT. I would hope the same would be true on the whistle board after a whistle/OT split.
OMG! Someone asked that same question (what's a pratie?) at IGTF, was answered quickly, and that was the end of it. You mean they asked it on the ITM forum too?
You know, guys, if you ever get Irish language questions on any of the dedicated boards and can't or don't want to deal with them, just send them over to http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com and we'll handle them.

ditto, probably because I never come to this site from that page. I have a direct link to this forum and the ITM forum, as I'm not interested in pipes or flutes. Soon I can ditch the link to this forum and go straight to the "everything off topic and therefore potentially interesting to a non-whistler" forum
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that schwing

Martin: You have come up with a great name for it, in my opinion.
