Sure, I understand your points, my main dig however was the nature of the
complaints.
Firstly, I AGREE with the need for useful titles, but if you look at most of
the "Please help" postings you'll find that they come from peoples of
<sic>foreign</sic> descent. My point is -
The effort they have put in to send a posting, deserves more than :
______________________
Dear Sir,
I regretfully inform you that, in light of recent 'dodgy' postings you are
to be shot at dawn. It's people like you that give us
12-pizza-eating-up-all-night-mouse-worn-out-developers a bad name. How do
you expect us decent folk to progress along the path of human endeavour,
when you can't even make your subject line contextual?
By the way, you need to add
myClass.addItem(myObject);
to your code to make it work.
Yours
Sir Humphrey Littleknob.

It just seems that the complaining is more important than the help.
Secondly, I'm sorry that you find the revelation about The Beatles so
disturbing, but it's really no secret. I would suggest that two weeks in a
small cupboard with a stack of Leonard Cohen albums may cure you.
Thanks

PS. Seriously, I appreciate your comments.
