Are you as frustrated as I am
« on: August 02, 2012, 05:32:06 PM »
... 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!

Amen.
In June I will be riding the first three stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity.  630km (394 miles) in three days, with 7800m (25,600 feet) of climbing for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.

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

...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.

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 !!  ;) :D

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

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

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.

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 ;D
