You want to start a thread. Fantastic! Now how about giving it a decent title so that others know what's inside.

http://www.ehmac.ca/ipod-itunes-ipho...-mobileme.html
How about: MobileMe - Will it solve iSync problems?

http://www.ehmac.ca/ipod-itunes-ipho...04-rogers.html
How about: Rogers - Moving Banners & Expensive Phones

I find myself agreeing with GuyToronto more and more. Am I becoming more cynical? Does this mean I'm going to lose my pants soon?

This thread needs a poll. And a better title.

Oh irony -- GT is guilty of the very thing he's ranting about!! Oooh SNAP!!

Seriously -- the examples referenced above are annoying. To add to that list:

a. Thread titles that are misspelled.
b. Thread titles that deliberately mislead
c. Thread titles that make statements when you are really asking a question and don't actually know what you're taking about (yet).
d. Threads that ask questions that the questioner knows DAMN WELL are impossible to answer at the present time (like "when will the new MacBooks come out?").

So print this post out and stick it on your monitor (or the "sticky notes area" on an iMac!) and before hitting that post button, check your thread title!

Thanks!

Just got my new maachine ...(and haven't figured out how to use the keyboard)
IMovie won't sart ...(and it won't qut, puse, or sop either).

Agreed!

Titles should indicate the content.

This [RANT] is approved, pants or no pants...
