I used to look at just about every thread in the half dozen areas of my specific interests on THR (as well as EVERY thread that included a post from rcmodel), but I find myself more and more passing by ones with relatively non-descriptive titles like 'Sale' or 'Help' with no real indication what it is about (although I suppose the one likely referred to some sort of sale and the other was asking for some kind of help).
A quick look in the Legal Forum and one can immediately have an idea about the topic addressed in practically every thread, but not so much in many of the other Forums.
Maybe I am getting to be a crabby and selfish old jerk, but if the OP cannot take the time to add a little info in the Title, I do not feel it is worth my time to bother with reading it and just go on to the next thread. I realize that the vast majority of times my input is basically useless, so the OP is not really missing anything from my lack of participation, but it seems somehow rude to expect the members to take the time to open each thread with no idea of its focus.
I had a tough day at work today and am feeling somewhat sorry for myself, so I apologize for being selfish about my time, but I think folks could get a lot more help if they would use something more than a vague title.
Is it just me?
