Subjects not clear in headings. . . .

I'm afraid that I was responsible for starting a conversation with a cryptic title. " Patience on a monument". I meant that I had been waiting patiently, but non productively, for a water feature in my garden. Someone didn't know why I had posted under a gardening thread. My logic is not always logical to others. (Just explaining).

I suppose it depends whether you want people to join in or not. I don't usually read the cryptic ones; life's to short. I agree with the OP but I am sure these less than amusing more like annoying titles will continue. .

Tough luck DB and Lona.

I d rather have cryptic headings than the infernal acronyms I hate them with a vengenence I always have to interpret them in my mind before 'getting it' I try to never use the buggers

I quite like an intriguing heading. It often leads me into discussions of topics I'd never thought about.

Sometimes it's not just the heading

Not sure if I have disagreed with myself there. Too early in the morning for me to sort it out.

Yes ninathenana, people can post how they like. I happily ignore the gransnetters who think and police otherwise if I have a mind to.

I agree Newquay, but shortly after that thought, I have been known to write a cryptic one myself.
For me, I know what I am thinking about in my head, write the subject heading, and then realise that it doesnt mean anything to others.

Actually, most seem quite clear and specific, a few are teasers, why not?

It doesn't bother me one jot. I do it all the time. I'm sorry if it upsets people.

Cryptic works for me!

I know, all that effort tapping a key and then the time wasted reading the first few words. It's exhausting

I'm one of those who will sometimes type a cryptic title to a thread, not that I often start a thread.
I do it in the hope people will be intrigued enough to read my post.
Surely people can post how they like, as long as it's not rude or offensive.
