Well, I don’t know what I’m going to do, but it won’t be pleasant. ---

Yeah, that was annoying me, as well. And now, you’ve titled one more thread with ‘Resolved:’ in it. You’re on my list, **Mangetout**. ---

Yeah, and while we’re at it, enough with titles such as “The ‘Infinitely Recursive Thread Name’ Thread”. Er, even though I started one like that just the other day… ---

…if yet more threads with “Resolved” in the title are opened for the express purpose of doing so because of this one. (There are two others currently. I expect more.) For my part, I really don’t like those titles that end with ellipses, with a post body that starts with more ellipses. Really pisses me off. What? ---

I had the same reaction when every other thread title started with “In which” or “Wherein”. The advice given to me was something along these lines: “Pull the stick out of your ass you fucking crybaby.” I can always rely on my fellow dopers for a sympathetic ear. Aw jeez, now I’m getting all teary. ---

“Resolved” is the second tiredest part of the middle school’s Rhetoric class. The tiredest is opening with “The dictionary defines \_\_\_ as. . .” ---
