Please be sure that you're as descriptive as possible in your thread title. I  A title with one or two words makes it nearly impossible for someone to know what the thread's about without clicking on it. Just a friendly request.

Thanks!  [wink]

Amen - One would presume that folks that start threads would want others to read them.  I don't open threads with non-descriptive titles and wonder how many others do the same.

I guess I ruffled a few feathers so I'll try to explain.  As you can see by the amount of posts i've made, I'm sort of new to this, and if you read the post you can see by what I said that I did not know for sure where to post it   SOOOOOO if I ruffled your feathers all I can say is SORRY !!   All I wanted to do is thank some people that deserve doing a good job. It's a tough world out there and I appreciate people that help me, so Thanks again Minnie, Shane and Brian.   BBBBB   I'll try to be more descriptive Shane, Thanks.

Well, I was going to put up an advertisement of "Free Money", but since that's not descriptive enough, I don't think I'll bother.  ;D

That's descriptive enough for me, Upscale. Post it, I could do with some Canadian dollars!

Just another friendly reminder. Please be descriptive with your thread title. One or two words usually doesn't let us know what your thread is about.  [wink]

Thanks.

Thanks.

Furthermore, it makes it nearly impossible to search for the thread in the future if you don't have a descriptive title.

Another friendly reminder... single word titles are bad.  [wink] Descriptive titles, good.  [thumbs up]

I'm calling my next one "Thread".

(just kidding, of course...)



Upscale, I don't think "Free Money" is sufficiently descriptive; is it an offer, or a request?

 ;D
