Subjects not clear in headings. . . .

Nothing wrong in being a woolly thinker , give me a woolly thinker to a know all or a putter down of people

I meant to write, as I thought, going by this thread!

See, it is easy to change, and who is really bothered? Virtually no one.

ahaha very deliberate in some cases- and why not ;) ?

It is not deliberate at all. Where are you reading that?

I rather like an intriguing title, it's like a clever headline or subheading in a newspaper.

Me too Daphne!

Me three .... I've read some very interesting threads on subjects I probably wouldn't have tried except for a clever headline .

The purpose of a heading is the same as the purpose of the title of a book - to draw you into opening it and reading the rest.

If it is clearly a subject that interests you, you read on.
If it is clearly something you don't want to read - you don't.
If it make you wonder just what it is about and sounds interesting - it has worked!

oh my, we do open several cans of worms on here

Wow! Didn't think I'd start all that! . . . . .

I agree with you Newquay. Most times that I check in nowadays, after scrolling past the site "heads ups", daft games and competitions etc, I can't be bothered to decipher the meaningless headings, so I log out. Its a shame because Gransnet used to be awash with interesting discussions.

Oh, I like to guess what I think the thread will be about. I feel very pleased if I'm right.
Plus, I like the frisson of excitement when opening a thread that isn't immediately obvious.

Life is just too short to get my knickers in a knot about some things...

Sometimes I am more inclined to read if I am intrigued by the heading. I don't think it matters. What matters is that people keep on starting threads, however they head them. I don't start many myself. If we were all like me, we wouldn't have a Gransnet!

Its still awash with Interesting discussions Specki .... they're under the threads with meaningless headings

You're probably right NanaandGrampy - I'm just a Grumpy Granny - I will try to be more tolerant

Maybe there's a new thread right there Speci
