There have been a few threads where the title has implied that something truly awful has happened, then when you read the OP, either it’s not that bad, or it’s even good news.
I have to agree also. It can be pretty annoying. I know its used to draw attention to the threads but maybe people could be a little more considerate and not scare the other posters. Especially in the case of purplebear who is so well known and liked.
Grrrrr… some days, like today, for instance, my 'puter is slow to load a page. This gives me plenty of time to bite off a nail or two while I wait. Next person to start a thread with an alarming title owes me a manicure, dammit!
Zyada, I can understand your frustration at this. I’m sorry for my part in this. But, lighten up some too, ok? After all, at least for Mr Bear’s thread, it shows me that he’s really becoming a regular member of the board, and really understanding the people here.
It made me feel good to see that thread today.
Balance, no comment. You’ll just have to wait and see.
Thank you, Shanin, for your compliments. I agree, he needn’t have put it quite so strongly, I suppose.
Tabithina, I’m so sorry to hear about your manicure problems. I hope we haven’t added to them too much.
