Come on, **lissener**. How is this ambiguous?

[quote=“Gary “Wombat” Robson, post:2, topic:532155”]

**lissener** , would you please use descriptive titles (I changed this one from “WANT” to “WANT: Shining Clock”), and describe what your link is.  
[/QUOTE]

It’s clear and it’s concise. Your response was also clear:

> [@WANT: Shining Clock](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/want-shining-clock/532155/5):

> No, I probably won’t.

Now stop yanking my chain. I’m going to make this very simple: Do not post threads titled simply, “WANT” and do not make OPs consisting of a link without a description. Got it?
