I also am irked when the first post of a thread consists of a pasted link with no explanatory text. If the author doesn't care enough to describe why he found the link interesting and what it is about, I'll simply move onto the next thread. If subsequent discussion shows other people found the link interesting and gives some idea what it is about, I may read it later, but the original post is still irritating.surprise_i'm_armed wrote:Whenever I open a thread, I try to be economical with words and phrases, in order to make the subject line
as long and detailed as possible. I'm a hater of the one word, totally useless subject lines, requiring me to open
them and read them to find out what the heck it may be about.
