I am tired of people who post threads with inadequate info in the title.

I'm gonna bitch...because I can. :p I can't stand scrolling through threads and seeing titles like "Can you help me?" or "Need help with parts" or "Can't find one". Why do I hate those threads? Well, I'll tell ya why. I hate having to take the extra time to actually click on the links only to find out that someone needs help because their dog pooped on the rug again or that they can't find a 8mm sheet metal screw for their gas range. It's a hassle to read a title and have no idea what so ever about what the person could possibly be asking. Lastly, "Check this out" seems to be the perfect title to a thread where-in the user has posted a link to pics of their '83 S-10 pickup with a flame paint job. :bang:

Now I've used "made up" examples to protect the innocent. No need to mention names because I'm sure all you wankers reading this know who you are. So I'll ask nicely. Please stop being so gd lazy and put some worth while and helpful info in the title of your posts. It sure is alot nicer to know upfront if a post is going to be a waste of ASCII [1]. :p :bang:

You know what I like? Most of the other sites I visit have this feature where you can place your mouse "pointer" over the title of the thread and see the first three lines or so of the thread. Saves lots of time. It's a helpful feature for a site that has hundreds of posts every day and allows the user to sift through the crap to get to the stuff he's interested in.

:laugh: That "smiley" is awesome!!!

I know what you mean though Greenhorn.
There are some topics I am tired of reading about over and over. Certain questions being asked. I'm not mentioning them b/c I will have a lot of people very upset with me...I already piss off enough customers at work, don't need to make anymore enemies! ;)

Is this where I am supposed to post a pic of my '98 Explorer w/it's newly dented bumper? :laugh: With a topic like...hmm...How do I? Then ask how to fix something on my bike and then post a pic of my bumper? :boss:

Greenie sounded like the owner of a FUSSY one.

As far as yours being FUZZY, well I guess keeping those things shaved daily could be rather tedious...go Brazilian wax I say :yikes:
