So this is just a new thread and not a brand new thread.

[I Think]

I cannot believe I am wasting energy creating a new post on this thread. Someone shoot me, please!

[TylerM4]

So it is possible to have a "brand new" thread or post?!

It get's demoted to "new" the 1st time someone reads it!

[I Think]

When does it get to be second hand?

But was it brand spanking new?

Seriously, I had never thought about it, and find that kind of thing pretty interesting.

My definition: Brand new: Still in the box, never taken out.

My definition: New: Took it out of the box, couldn't figure out how it worked/didn't like it/required batteries/used it once.
