<p>Why do posters of threads at CC write such general and vague discussion titles that give no clue about the content of their query or statement? I think I'm just going to give up on discussions with titles like "Help!" or "Which school?". I'm sure this has probably been mentioned on CC before. What's the consensus? My hope would be that a poster would think of the title like a new story headline and include some telling details. </p>
