I think the doll situation is something Admin would have to Admin. I always thought the for sale section is for sewing and quilting items, but I could be mistaken.

Ultimately though...you really DON'T have to read all the topics. I'm sorry that having the unreads causes you personal grief!
it's very much like this ....

we probably agree with you. however, members to a lot of things the rules and policies say "don't do". sometimes there is a clear and undeniable need to enforce the letter of the law. sometimes we try to develop a feel for the consensus among the general membership. if something isn't potentially harmful to the board or our members, and if nobody complains we try to be flexible.

it's easy to say "if it doesn't interest you then don't look" but - as has already been pointed out - you don't always know it's of no interest until you have looked. i suppose there are some who deliberately compose vague titles to guarantee more views but i think it's probably for other reasons. posters pick titles that pop into their heads and don't evaluate them from the reader's perspective. it isn't malicious. i'd rather put up with it than to create yet another rule that would not only suck the fun out of posting (who wants to stress over composing a title?) but would certainly be ignored. :lol:
