<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">What's up with this title policing thing anyway...? I don't get it. How hard is it to click a link to the thread and then just click back to the list of topics if you're not interested? Or is it a matter of principle or something...?</font>
Why bother to have topic titles, or even different topics at all? Why not just post every message to a single list. If you don't like a message you can just skip to the next one, right?
Topic titles should give you a hint of what the topic is about. One shouldn't have to open a topic in order to determine whether or not it is of interest. It's rather hard to keep up with everything and informative titles help people to go to what interests them.
With that in mind I'd say that this topic is extremely poorly named. Please keep the discussion to what is in the first message or I'll just close this topic and put it out of its misery.
