Hi Ron

As I am one of the offenders in this regard I apolagize. I never thought of it this light and wouldn't have been able to fully understand this before yesterday. I was in my LHS showing the owner something on Forums. As he had dial up I couldn't believe how long some of the topics took to come up (Forever and a day) especially the ones with photos.

So in the future I will try to be more descriptive when posting topics.

Once in a while I have a pet peeve that I just have to spout off about, and this is one of those. I have real issues with topic titles on this and other forums that tell you NOTHING about the subject of the topic. This site in particular is SLOW!!! and we don't all have cable uplinks. It takes time here to pull up topics, and nothing frustrates me more than to pull up a topic only to find that it is of no real interest to me. Topic titles like "WOW" or "This is really cool" are not particularly helpful. When you type a title, tell us the SUBJECT of your topic, not how you feel about it please.

This is NOT aimed at anyone in particular, nor am I trying to put a damper on people's creativity. I am just trying to make the forum work better and be more accessible and enjoyable for me ant others.
