Thanks, Paul!
I saw your "congrats" on another thread! It's about time SOMEBODY came to their senses and yanked this thread back to it's roots! Should have known it might be someone who knows the rules! Someone like YOU! I was just reading the FAQ's above, myself, which includes forum rules. No doubt, you're intimately familiar with them, as am I!
Why is a post's subject so important?
The first post of a given thread establishes the subject by which all subsequent replies will be known. Once there's been a reply, the thread subject cannot be subsequently changed. It's therefore important to get the subject right from the outset. Make it as descriptive and as specific as possible. For example, 'LCD burn-in questions', is much better than something completely generic, such as 'Newbie needs help!'. Not only is it more likely to elicit a response, but it'll also make it much easier for all posts in the thread to be subsequently located.
Man, truer words were never written! I was all set to learn all about Subaru engine installations in Cessna 150's, and wound up reading about Ramblers? They should have let this thread die in obscurity and started a new thread under a new topic! That would have made it a LOT easier to know what I was going to read before I had to waste time clicking on the link. I need to say, I'm so fed up with the comarraderie, friendship, good natured ribbing, off topic comments, and diversity of personalities here, I think I just might start my own forum, and I'll be the only moderator, so I can screen and edit comments at will. No more of this friendly meaningless banter, no siree! Hell, I'll even screen the membership! Conform to MY rules, or get out! Yeah, that's the ticket! My own forum!
Uh, ..................... Sorry!
Guess I should have started a new thread, huh?
