    glenn, I have adopted this tack, not looking at threads with titles such as : "Suggestions Needed," and "What Would You Do?" opting for more descriptive thread titles, where I have a better idea of what it's about before opening it. I find I have trimmed my time reviewing posts quite a bit and I can move on quicker. Thank you.

    Yet we all read the message "Am I the only one?"

    I should add that I'm more likely to at least glance at an obscurely titled message in "Off Topic" than in General!
    Well, depending on my mood. And whether hay needs hauling or a log needs sawing.

    Threads that have vague titles, like this one. Would not have opened this one if the curser had not accidentally come to rest on it so I could read the first sentence.

    Accidentally, ok Larry, haha...

    I do like the feature that lets you hover over a thread title to let you see the content. Very useful.

    BTW, I almost feel compelled to apologize for using a click bait style title, you know, a title that you just have to click on to see what do they really mean. But what is the fun in that???
    NOW you tell me...

    Safety threads bring out the worst in everyone.

    If I see a simple question like “is it okay to use my tracksaw to cut plywood?” And there are 57 replies, yeah, I’m not going in there.

    OK, I have to admit I was swayed by the title : "Yes, I am an idiot." I assumed I would identify.

    Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
