Non-evident Thread Titles

[Spitpatch]

A recent and popular thread with commentary on poor advertising technique caused me to wonder, "What else bugs me?"

...and this is not by any means limited to NWFA's website. I am not a "gadabout" much elsewhere, but when I visit, or during searches, I find the same thing:

A TITLE that is not a TITLE.

Example title "I have a question." (This title may be viewed by most sentient beings as lacking something.)

Suggested title: "Model 98 Mauser trigger question" (Anybody with a decent answer will respond.)

For Sesame Street Graduates only: One of these things is not like the other.

They want everyone to click instead of just one (me) that knows everything.

There are Amoebas, and then there are Homo Sapiens. NWFA members are most certainly at the very least within that very spectrum, I may assure you.

I hate it when people upload an image that's so tiny I can't read it.

I hate it when people change their avatar and it takes me a while to figure out who they are again.

Especially a seller who is always way overpriced.

Any thread that cannot be derailed is not worth responding to.

Send lawyers, guns and money...

I also hate titles that tell me nothing about what the thread is about. I skip them.

Non evident thread titles could be from someone who really does have a question but....

Has no real clue about the subject , item or the like...
Is new to guns...
Tends to think in general terms as opposed to specific terms...
Wants a general "blanket" answer....

I also think that the popularity of texting has brought a truckload of bad writing habits to the table , so to speak.

In any event...non-evident thread titles are annoying.
However there ain't much I can do 'bout them...so I don't think about 'em to much.

What do you think of this for a thread title for those to whom you refer?
