Many posters have said this and I must agree...if you are too lazy to skip past posts that you are not interested in, then you have a major issue. Get a grip and a clue.
Jude, I totally agree with you here. Misleading/incomplete titles are my biggest pet peeve of this forum.Jude Rosenstock said:1. Misleading/Incomplete Titles
Please, don't let us wait until we click on the thread to find out you have no worthy opinion. Let everyone know from the main-page from now on so we don't waste our time!

I've heard that Jude is a lights out shooter, and is a great guy in person, but, I also have the same "My way or the highway" feeling coming across from Jude on the AZ. Sorry Jude, no offense. Sometimes text does not come across the same way as the spoken word, and a lot of this may be unintentional.

( besides, you said in that OSPD thread that you didn't want any jokes )

Jude,
I compliment you for your civil manner by which you are responding to your dissenters! Far too often on this forum, when a disagreement arises, it turns into an ego infested, name-calling, free-for-all. You obviously understand that not everyone agrees with you, and to your credit, you even concede on occasion, but you haven't lost your cool.
I happen to value a good post with a side of humor injected from time-to-time. I also am sympathetic to the bad titles and such. I guess I have a higher tollerance for frivolity than you, but it does not make you a bad person to want the forum cleaned up a bit.
My wife likes OUR house to be completely void of clutter... I happen to be a natural born slob. Order in the house just isn't as important to me as it is to her. I suspect we have a similar issue here. Not all of us care about what you care about. But I do respect the fact that you care about it.
Thanks for posting; I think we all can do better.

2. NPR
It's amazing how people can relate ANYTHING to pool. Seriously, we are days away from seeing a thread about septic tanks and 9ball. Amazingly, I searched for "septic tank" and got 6 hits. Before you submit, ask yourself, is this what I would discuss with the poolroom's best player?
3. Revisited Topics
Ugh. There are now 158 THREADS with "OB-1" in the title. Unless your thread is about OB-1 versus Godzilla (which I think has yet to be discussed), perhaps you might want to consider reviewing previous posts before starting an entirely new thread about your new love.
4. Player Obsessions
I never thought AZB would become a fan site. From my time on rsb to the Chalk Board and now azb, I always believed we were all pool players. Boy was I wrong. I thought forums would be great places to gain information. People like Wei have devoted an incredible amount of their time to provide us with amazing tools to use and youtube only enhances that experience yet every day there will undoubtedly be a new thread about one of ten players and how someone saw them on tv. I really don't care if Johnny Archer wears Fruit of the Looms. I really really really don't care.
5. Politics
Usually 95% of the people involved in these threads have no financial interest in them whatsoever yet they're always willing to contribute their two cents.
I really do enjoy questions about rules and unusual shot scenarios and amazingly, many of the best contributors of late are relatively new members. I hope members like Klockdoc, uwate, azbluemach1 and a plethora of others continue to contribute to play-related threads. I may not always agree with what you have to say but I'm very glad we're actually talking about pool.
Sigh. I'm done venting.

And don't let anyones opinion of forum ettiquete get in the way of you posting. Keep up the good posts.
