If the subject is meaningless then you have to open up the post just to find out what is in it - and most of us can do without that sort of spam in our busy lives.<\/p>\n<p>So if you start a new thread and are the first person to post then you have a responsibility - and that is to give us a subject!<\/p>\n<p>If your post asks a question - put the question as well in the subject<br \/>\n(for example like this http:\/\/forum.tgr.net.au\/cms\/forum\/F309\/2327-327 )<\/p>\n<p>If you are making a suggestion - put that in the subject as well.<\/p>\n<p>And if you are making a recommendation - put the name of the shop etc in the subject.<\/p>\n<p>And if you don't?????<br \/>\nWell be prepared to be asked to repost it again!
