Read the thread.

Venda posted a solution that was too broad. It lumped together song titles, film titles
and TV titles. I told him he was close to the correct answer and asked him to be more
specific -- but he wandered further afield.

Don't be so bloody pedantic. Venda's post may have been 'broad' but it did include the correct answer - "film titles".

Yes, it's the famous M*A*S*H signpost. In my Google picture the Decatur "U" looks like an "O" but my bad.

Still, my error didn't prevent you from solving it, did it? - yet your mistake prevented others from solving your puzzle. Don't be so bloody-minded..

I made no mistake. I asked venda to be specific, and he failed to follow through.

My mistake right now is wasting time trying to reason with an idiot.

Yes you did. Your blatant mistake was not recognising the fact that Vendor had correctly identified the solution as "film titles", which can also include "movie titles . You, are the idiot and a bloody minded one as well . Humph.
