Apparently I was too subtle. Some started an Unutterably Silly thread entitled "Only four words allowed" which title used exactly four words. Next there was a three word title - "Just three words!!!", then a two word title - "Two words!!!", and finally a one word thread - "Word!!!".
It seemed only logical that the next thread in the series would be no words hence my thread entitled "!!!". Obviously no one got the thrust of the title and then someone else started a thread using three words, entitled "No words allow!" that took off like a forest fire.
Maybe I just made a poor choice of no words in my original post although Lady Blue did seem to get the idea.
As usual, Don seems to have missed the bus.
