Tittles like "Don't you just hate!", or " Have you noticed..." or "Things were OK for a while but"

Is it just me? anyone else get annoyed by this?

843720 2009-12-27 23:27:00 I know what you mean, it is a bit tedious, but I guess just got to get a hold of the curiosity....
They could have title codes i guess, like: P = politcal thread, H = help threat, TW = time wasters thread

But sounds like effort

So what's the point of a title if your not going to use it properly?

843726 2009-12-28 06:04:00 Please Sir, what is a tittle? (And keep it decent Cicero) Richard (739)
843727 2009-12-28 06:35:00 For someone like myself who uses the Internet close to all day everyday, your post is such a waste of space. Eg, what's an extra mouse click here or there?

As previously mentioned... just hover your mouse over the thread to see what it's about.

What irks me more is when people post a link without first giving a brief description of what the subject is.

Dammit... I've used up too many keystrokes and thought pixels in typing this response!

*sigh*
