Are you as frustrated as I am

[Michael Whitaker]

... by threads that try and bait me into reading them with partial sentences and incomplete thoughts in their title?   

You may think this technique is clever or cute... but, please, guys, put the TOTAL subject of your thread in the title so I know what the Hell your planning to talk about. It will help keep the rest of us from wasting a lot of time drilling through your threads only to discover the subject is one of which we have no intention of reading or participating.

Thanks!

[Mark Pearce]

Amen.

Mike for a moment I was wondering why you were adressing this to us instead of Nancy.




Come on don't be shy, spit it out... the real perpetrator of this tired means of grabbing attention is

Did you know that you can...

...hover your cursor over the offending thread title to read the beginning of the first comment, which is usually the exciting conclusion of the question?

That way you don't even contribute a page view to the poster who started the thread.

The offender was chastised by none other than Tom Doak several years ago, to no avail. I suspect that any negative comments from his favorite whipping boy will sadly, fall on deaf ears.

Michael,

I hope that posting on this topic isn't limited to folks who are frustrated by teaser headings, as I don't happen to be one of them. As JLahrman pointed out, it's easy to preview what you're in for without having to use a 'drill'.

You've been infected Michael.  You forgot a question mark in your Subject.

 

[Mac Plumart]

Nope.  They don't frustrate me at all.  They come from Pat Mucci, he loves the game to the nth degree.  I can't wait to see what he has to say, ask, or comment on regarding golf.

Wait a second, didn't you live above the Lincoln Tunnel for a year? The cardiac recover is clearly going well !! 

If you are frustrated with Jersey guys trying to be clever, you clearly need to come back to Manhattan for another year!!

That was the point!

I knew this would wind up being my problem somehow.

What's that you say?  I couldn't hear you.  Sounds as if your face was planted in someone's posterior.   

[Ronald Montesano]

Funny one, Ben!!


Perhaps The Great Mucci and his ilk is/are experiencing a rebirth of epic proportions and feel(s) the need...

to utilize elipsis...

to keep us hanging...

on by a thread...

Mac:

Were you the kid in class that raised his hand for every question?

Michael:

I just assumed that the culprit was internet illiterate.  He just starts typing away in the Subject box, when that's full you move on to the next space for entries.  I bet he dials his cell phone with his index finger as well.

Whining, and you guys do it so well, is music to my ears.

Ron,

Thanks for your post.

From now on I'll try to keep my threads and replies on the 8 year old level so that you're not overwhelmed and/or confused

Doesn't work on an iPhone or iPad which is 90% of my viewing.

Good one, Ben.  But the same goes for your posts.  No kidding.

Mac, dude here is your reminder it's time to get vaccinated for Hep A.
