    Using Vague Titles When Starting New Threads

    I'm sure that many here understand this and are doing things properly, but in the interest of being efficient (not to pick on any one person) I have a polite request to make...

    Please don't use a Title such as:


    • I Have A Question
    • Something to Think About


    Instead, it would be helpful if you could use something more specific (but brief) such as:


    • Your Thoughts About Separating eWaste
    • Winter Scrapping in the Cold Country
    • Avoiding Injuries when using Power Tools
    • Types of Wire I like to Strip and Why


    Look at the second group of titles compared to the first one. When you see the title, you know basically what the posting is about without going any further.

    Again, I'm not trying to be difficult, but there is a LOT of information on this great site. For someone trying to go through it in a fairly efficient manner, vague titles cause the reader to waste a lot of time. Sometimes, just proofreading your posting before sending it and asking "What would I think if I read this?" will do the trick.

    I hope I explained this properly without causing a thousand people to give me the finger. Thanks in advance for helping to improve the content of this fantastic place.
