I figured I'd start this thread to talk about how to properly hijack a thread. That way we can make sure useless chatter is in a place we can all ignore. Please make sure all posts deal with the topic of hijacking threads.
As opposed to ... dukes?
Just watch putting up your dukes here. We don't want any violence.
Just watch

I never watched that show, but I did like Raising Arizona when I was in college.

I suppose even a cave man can do it. [:D]
verify the counts As opposed to earls, barons, & dukes?

Earl was my uncle. Then there is a Baron who is a member of the U. S. House of Representatives from Indiana. Of course, there's David Duke (We won't talk about him) and Patty Duke. Also, don't forget about Duke Power or Duke University (I couldn't get in there since I'm just a commoner).

Who are the barren women in the bible?
EASY question.
All the wimmen who are not child barren.
They're the ones who danced all night, right?
Getting back to the OP's original question (after 23 pages), the way to properly hijack a thread is to bring up ideas that have been brought up in the OP's original post, or in one of the following posts, and then to use those ideas to springboard to another sometimes similar, but often very different idea, in doing this hijacking it is often helpful to say "sorry to hijack your thread, but since someone brought it up ..."
Hijacking is also usually much easier to accomplish if you are adept at run-on sentences, and, commas, because, you, can, put in the OP's ideas, and then flow them, into your ideas and thoughts in just one long sentence just by using a comma, or some other, form of sentence structure, that helps to build sentences correctly for a modern world that often does not understand the need for proper sentence structure that is not taught well in the educational system of many countries.
I hope this helps.
I see that you like commas. This makes me think about something. What do you think of the possibility of using comets during long space flights as a source of water?
just by using a comma,
[:|] Your post, has made me, commatose.
comets
What about Dander & Blitzer?
Anyway, didn't we just have Christmas?
It's Donner and Blitzen. Now don't get my dander up, or I'll blitz you! [;)]
Blitzen
How'd Wolf get in the thread???? [:D]
Your post, has made me, commatose.
You can get a brace like this to correct that problem of comma-shaped toes:

Yeah, but there's no Daisy here.
Daisy.
I'm getting Daffy... does that count?
At least for one more count.
one more count
+1

Oh come on, we've already been through all the counts and earls and things. I can't think of any more. Oh, how about Count Dracula? Or Count Chocula? Or Count Pointercount? Or Count Down? Or Bank A. Count? Or Count R. Intuitive?
If I deleted my last post, would that be one less count?
You forgot Count R. Pane.
Val Kilmer was a great Doc Holiday in Tombstone.

Don't countradict me. I wasn't trying to be exhaustive. We've got the NAS Exhaustive Concordance and the Exhaustive Dictionary of Biblical Names for that. Besides, I'm already exhausted. But if you really want me to countinue, there's Count N. Ance, Count Ree, and good old מָנָה.

Apparently they are trying to shut down our thread by taxing our servers!

I don't mind them taxing the waiters/waitresses, but they are taxing my patience too. [:(]
Not to mention Heart A Tax; Dallax, Taxes, Tax A Dermy, or Ar Tax Xerxes
No, Alex.
That is a dis-count.
No doubt, your example of a NO-ac-count.

Just wondering Rosie, how often you use your count-cordance....
The trouble a lot of people were having with L4 that was caused by the date made me realize . . .
today's date is a PALINDROME (I learned that on this thread)!
And Thumb Tax. And Hail A. Tax, E(sq.)
I don't know. I've lost count. Actually, I think it's pretty silly to have a concordance resource in Logos when Logos search can generate any concordance you need on the fly. This this explanation from the Logos blog of why there is no Strong's Exhaustive Concordance in Logos. So why should there be a NAS Exhaustive Concordance?

Ah, that must be the problem! Some programmer forgot that when the date is a Palin-drome, the software will just quit on you. ;-) (Had to get a little political jab in there.)

Hi Rosie,
Although I can't speak for academia, since I'm not an academic, I can observe that a published concordance can be checked... others can verify its accuracy. Scholastically, unless such a work (Strong's, NASB's Exhaustive, etc.) exists to compare Logos against, how can we certify its accuracy sufficiently for academia?
To my knowledge, your question represents the 1st time since 1994 that ANYONE has expressed that level of confidence in the e-results we could get on Logos. Too often in the past, Logos results were questioned because they didn't find some instance or other of a particular word that appeared in (you name the) concordance.
But, to keep more in the spirit of recent posts in this thread, who's COUNT-ing, anyway?
You are in error there since I personally questioned the need for a concordance in Logos (probably) within the last 2 yrs.
Thanks for the correction, George.... Your question is still rather recent... only within the last 2 years... Logos has come a long way from 1.6 & 2.0, & even early 3.0.
Blessings!
[;)] Were you speaking for academia?

I wasn't saying we need to eradicate print-based concordances. Of course it's still valid to want to check the results in Logos against a print-based concordance, and one always can if one is worried. But...you'd better believe a lot of those print-based concordances are generated by computers these days... ;-) And a lot of the monks and scribes that made concordances manually in the olden days were error-prone, too. Besides, if Logos has produced a print-based concordance like the NAS Exhaustive in Logos format, but you don't trust Logos programmers entirely (and I don't either -- I am a programmer and I know how fallible we are), then who's to say they didn't accidentally delete some of the instances of a word from the print-based version when tagging it for Logos format? So can we really trust Logos's version of the NAS Exhaustive as a resource to check Logos's own search results against? I think not.
This is getting too serious, though. I just wanted to come up with a counterexample to tweak your nose a bit. You're down for the count. ;-)
Were you speaking for academia?
No, simply for mia. Akkad can speak for itself (if you can read cunieform).
I have an account on academia.edu.
I once saw a play called "Academia Nuts" (performed by the Princeton Triangle Club when we were there for my Dad's reunion)

I know a guy who sat on some tacs once, but not for very long.
In the end he had no tact.
Do you know how a sailboat tacks?
I like cars with tachs next to the speedometer.
What do they call that stuff for horses? Oh yeah tack. Is more than one set called tacks?

Count? Teach me to get serial, will ya!? (Of course it's easier to count serially rather than in parallel)[:D]

What kind of serial do you prefer - wheaties?
Are you folks still here?
Good grief I leave for a week and now I have to sift through thirteen pages of posts, and that's after marking all the Mac and Iphone stuff read.
It makes me want to not take a vacation.
That must be where that other thread originated! The one wanting to shut down our thread because we are taxing the Logos servers.
after marking all the Mac and Iphone stuff read.
What! Are you some kind of heretic?

So where's the money going?
