He just used the age old tactic - the burnt soil's tactic.
Egypt and it's allies - all trained by Soviet military advisors - used the same tactic during the seven day war in 1967: Retreat and let ice and snow kill your enemies

What's the 'burnt soil' tactic? It sounds like a half-hearted attempt at 'scorched earth'. 
Other more mitigated attack options include:
'hot mud'
'cooked peat'
and
'sauted compost in a white wine sauce'

, Icy
What you call scorched earth we call burnt soil. Forgive us our ignorance, it has never been a tactic used by us Vikings 
You forgot Mississippi Mud Pie, by the way

It always will appear as Geezers converation in your convo list. Changing the subject title after it's first created doesn't change the original title.
Only some of the Italics can change the location and actual title of a thread.
Otherwise, just think about how many threads you'd see in your list called [REMOVED] or [NO SUBJECT] or [HIDDEN] because someone posted something that broke the house rules.
I hate it when that happens. {rabble-rabble-rabble}

Cheer is the name of a laundry detergent. Thanks a lot for reminding me that I need to do some laundering.
