I read most of the posts in the sections that I go to - regardless of the title. There are some sections that I skip.
For me, the main reason for wanting more detail - is if I want to find the post again, it improves the chances. I usually don't notice or remember the name of the original poster.
"Latest finish" for the title and "this is my latest quilt" with ONLY a picture (which is helpful - because someone may remember the quilt - with or without a cat, dog, or baby) doesn't narrow it down very much for a search.
