It seems to me like air horns are a more modern thing. Gongs/bells seem reasonable, though.

Seriously? *sigh* Take a look at this, will ya (It's in paragraph 3)?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_organ#Repertoire

See? Air horns DID exist back in those days!!! Have a NICE day, good Sir!!!

There's a difference between compressed-air airhorns (what most people mean when they say "Airhorn") and a pipe organ (which uses pumps of some kind to propel air through the pipes). Especially since pipe organs aren't usually hand-held.

Half of those links were necessary to make your point Footkerchief(Dear ArMok, some of these are from 2006);
And honestly, while your are expected to search to see if your idea is already posted, you should not be forced to look up ever interpretation of you idea just to please some eggheads.

More: I get that you just want to help stop ideas from being reposed, but you don't need to post the archive to do that.
One to three of the most relevant and recent threads are enough.

I've realized that my idea is a complete failure. I mean... LOOK at that HUGE list!!! Toady will NEVER get around to implementing it!!! I guess I should also give up on my dreams too, seeing as other people want to do the same things...

Or maybe the point Footkerchief was trying to make was that you might do better by stopping to take the time to read some of the things other people had written instead of posting more and more yourself...  After all, he started it off with "Please edit your posts instead of posting multiple times in a row."

If you want people to take the time to read what you write, you need to at least show that you're willing to take the time to read what other people write, as well.  Making dozens of one to three sentence posts in rapid succession doesn't show you've put much thought into what you have written, and that, in turn, doesn't ask people to give much thought to what you wrote.

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.

That's what EVERYBODY says!!! And you know what? That's how it has ALWAYS been!!! Do you honestly believe that the cave man that invented the wheel was the FIRST person to have that idea? Well... He probably wasn't. However, he had the resources to chisel and sculpt his wheel. Do you HONESTLY think that Toady is going to pay attention to only ONE thread about a topic? Or do you think that he would, more than likely, notice a pattern of threads that talk about the same thing? Think about it. One person can be stifled. An army stands together.
