Proper Titles on eBrandon
10/2/2008 at 10:03 PM
Why do people who post on eBrandon insist on using abbreviations or generic questions in their titles?
"DOES ANYONE KNOW?" Why did you not include the noun of what you want to talk about?
I had to wait three days to find out what Pa stood for. And CFS means a number of different things.
"How long is too long" would have gotten my attention if it was correctly titled "Emergency Room Wait Time Too Long"
"Are you Raising my Child" is more to do with "Breastfeeding" or "Infants in Public Places"
"Quick Question" gave me a hint that it would be something about pets but they could have added "about my dog" or "about my snake" so I did not have to waste time clicking on it to find out what you are talking about.
When starting a discussion on eBrandon please remember:
you are not texting to your friend,
you are not charged for every letter you enter, and
the title is the first impression you give others.
You nay have noticed how I spaced out my paragraphs so each concept is presented in an easy to read format. When I am faced with a paragraph that is ten inches long, I skip it.
It is as if there is a contest to see who can get the most clicks whether the clicker is really interested in the real topic or not. If this is the case, I will no longer waste my time clicking on titles that are not properly descriptive of the topic being discussed. Maybe if there are other members of eBrandon that wish to join me in this protest, we may be able to raise the level of writing on eBrandon and become more efficient with our computer time.
