My time, and that of others here on the board, is valuable and shouldn’t be wasted opening threads just to see what they’re about. We should be able to skim through the titles and know exactly which ones are worth reading. My hat is off to you, Para.

And it's not like a new stance or development. He's said it time and again. It boggles the mind when you consider the people that read the forum and someone thinks they need to be cutesy with their title so that people will read their thread.

The people that I'm going to have to trick with a cute title to read my threads are people who wouldn't be interested in my topic in the first place and whose response I wouldn't be interested in getting in the second place.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Para keepin' it real!

Thanks for running such a great forum, Para. I don't watch the news or listen to Conservative talk radio anymore. I used to because I wanted to be alert and current, etc. But, now, someone will ask me, "Did you hear about...?" And, I'll just tune into this forum and get the info without any of the dross that goes along with it on TV and radio.

A few months ago I swear I saw a thread begin with something like: “You won’t believe what this actress looks like now!”

With the adjectives: Breathtaking. Jaw-dropping. Shocking. Sort of like the fake "news" stories which tell a story in 21 pages, two sentences and 20 ads per page ...

Don't forget "This Weird Trick...".

Then, three days later, we see Anyone else seen this?

Is that supposed to be funny? Yes, we all know that parabellum does have a sense of humor, but I'm pretty sure that it does not apply to situations like this. I'm trying to visualize the look on his face when he first saw the thread title that I quoted.

I think this guy has a death wish, err... I mean, ban wish, because 3 days ago, another of his thread was locked for the very reason, https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...0601935/m/5440069934.

I guess even Para can't fix st00pid
