Originally Posted By DlandDug Yes, annoying, isn't it? Especially when someone then posts a long paragraph with sentences that trail off the edge of the page.

(Ding! Ding! Ding! YES, we have a match!) I won't open the "LP Screamin'" thread for that reason. 2) Any thread that consists of a poster -- frequently someone we haven't met before -- bounding onto a trip planning section and demanding information RIGHT NOW! As if it's OUR DUTY to help them RIGHT NOW! And as if the answer to their question weren't already easily accessible through LP's trip planning guides. Or through other threads in the section. Get some impulse control. Do your homework. THEN come ask us. 3) Threads whose titles contain no meaningful information. "Hey!" "Guess What?!" "Funny" "DL Ride." "Changes?"

Coincidence? Hmm ...

"Hey, Byron!" conveys very specific information.* (Ding! Ding! Ding! We have ANOTHER match!) *Though it might be a bit of a tease to people named "Bryon."

Originally Posted By RagtimeGal Lol, Scutr! XD I'm guilty of the "eek" thing, but once and only once and I'm very sorry for it, actually now, because it very much annoys me too. (It totally skipped my mind that that would happen. Sorry, DlandDug). I like it when a topic offers the option to start other topics, but I dislike a total and complete hijacking with no real connection to the actual topic of the thread.
