Please, Please put a real and complete subject in the Title so I will know if it is a question I can answer or am interested in reading about.
A quilter's time is precious and I rather not take the time to search through to find what the subject is about.

I agree with your request, but you did not do what you ask in the title to your post.

Perhaps: Post titles need descriptive key words!

This also helps those trying to find posts at a later date.

I have asked for more discriptive titles also but to no avail.
It was really bad when I only had dial up.
Now I mostly ignore incomplete posts.

Donna Jean: You are correct. I should have made it more descriptive myself. Your suggestions is much better:

Post titles need descriptive key words!

And that would then sure solve the problem of trying to find previous subjects which were discussed in length.

I agree!!!!!!!! Especially if I want to do a search on topic before I post. Actually I tend to ignore post that do not have descriptive title. Good luck trying to get all to comply!

Yep, in a perfect world, folks would read and follow the posting instructions, use the search function first, put their posts in the correct topic area, use a descriptive title, and WOULD NOT SHOUT.
But we don't live in a perfect world. I just skip the vague topics.
