Nitpicky. You said it.

Plenty of topics can follow this format. My dissertation had a question title: doesn't mean I didn't discuss anything therein! Besides, it shouldn't be the responsibility of a topic-starter in a discussion forum to remind everyone that discussion is encouraged in the thread.

  • Why destroy Laketown's bridge? - Because it was there...
  • Where is Aeglos? - It wasn't my turn to watch it.
  • What was Shelob, and more importantly, what was Ungoliant? - Spiders?!?
  • What do your Elven eyes see? - Not much beyond the jar I keep them in.
  • What Next To Read . . .? - See next line.
  • How Did Gollum Lose the Ring? - No pocketses, of course.

Question Welcome Back, Kotter.

I don't mind the thread titles that ask a full question, but the topics that sound like they were created by Vinnie Barbarino truly leave me shaking my head (i.e. What? Where? How? When?). I believe a topic should at least give a clue as to what is hidden within, just a click away.

Your sense obviously isn't refined enough to see that, clearly, that Huh?, Huh..What? and Ahh...What?? are about Balrog eating habits prior to the first sunrise, the perspiration levels of Shire porcine and the Quenya translation of Sam Gamgee's version of the Lay of Lúthien, respectively.
