Just a reminder when posting a message--when you type your header/title of the message, please make is as descriptive as possible.

Example:

Wrong way:
"Walking....."

Right way:
"Walking through the halls of school"

I am seeing a lot of 1 or 2 word headers, and no one will have any idea what the Author is talking about. You will also get your post read by more people, the more descriptive it is.

Anyone else agree?

I feel enlightened somehow.. Oh the mystical powers you possess Ziroc! I'll be sure to make mine LONG and DESCRIPTIVE.

Yes, sir. I agree sir. I found that being expository is best at all times. Well, being expository coupled with being a bit verbose. Granted, my topics drop like a stone because I can't relate to most, but I do try.

:D

Ziroc, laying the SMACK DOWN! ;)

Just trying to make is as smooth as possible for everyone..

BUT... Don't be making your headers/titles like this:

"I am sick of the stick of burning pumpkins on halloween! Once in 1984, my brother burned his pumpkin on the porch, left a mark, it did! then I......"

;)

It's about time someone spoke up and said that... all shall obey! for Ziroc has spoken! I was getting a little tired of threads called "Genes" without actually saying what you were about to read, be it blue jeans or genetic code, or people doing things WITH the Genetic code or people solving crimes with DNA evidence and then you find out its some Typo by someone who wants to rant about Lee Dungarees! Ok bad example, but it's an example anyway...

Whatabout, "People from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis who believe in antidisestablishmentarianism.."

That is acceptable, right? :D
