Who's Fluffy???

[slick]

Just an observation and something that's been bugging me.

Please, when you start a thread with just 3 lines and say "now fluffy is OK", I want to know who fluffy is and what happened. I really appreciate people who put a link in the first line so I can go back and read all about fluffy.

Also, I do read Pet General and Pet Health and I can't read minds. When you post that fluffy is not doing well, please can you tell me if fluffy is a rabbit, or a gerbil or a bird or what? Maybe I don't respond but I do read and say prayers when requested.

There are too many folks on board here for me to remember the names of everyone's pet and what type of pet they have.

Thanks. Maybe I'm just getting old.

You're not alone!

And to continue this thought ...
You don't *need* to start a New Thread every 6 hours!

TRY to create a "catchy" Title - that covers Who, What, When, Where, & Why -
to really TELL folks what the thread is about ... I'm sorry, but I don't often read
threads that have super-criptic or one/two word "titles"!

And once you've picked a "catchy title" and have begun to attract an audience -
STICK WITH the Thread ... nothing I hate more than to begin replying to a nice thread -
only to find a day later it's been replaced by a "newer" thread - same subject -
but a new title. It's very hard to get the whole story and follow along when
there are multiple, overlapping threads where ONE would do just fine!

Wheew ... now I feel better!

Slick and Phred, I couldn't agree more!! It really is irritating to have to sift through all these threads, when one could capture the whole story.

By saying "Fluffy" I'm sure Slick meant any fluffy pet.

Arghhhhhh this has been bugging me the last few days, we dont need seperate threads when "Fluffy" steals a bit of hooman food or digs a new hole. It is getting harder to keep track of other threads because they are getting bumped back to page 3 or so.

Amen, this has bugged mr for a long time. It clutters the board and makes everything else harder to read as well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I absoultey agree, its been bothering me a lot lately too

[sasvermont]

I agree with you about the titles, information etc. I sometimes don't have a clue as to what kind of pet they are typing about. I guess some folks here think that we follow and read every single thread. Not true.

My pet peeve is about the folks who put a title on their thread about some moving, horrific topic and it isn't about that at all..... just a way to get attention. Give me a break! Maybe I should take my own advice, and PM those "offenders"..... Maybe I should lighten up a little, too!

Anywho, thanks for bringing this topic to the forefront. I think, in general, we have a few folks with too much time on their hands - and they post out of boredom!

Ha ha! I thought the title meant "Who's got a few extra pounds?" I sometimes call myself a little fluffy. However, laps in the pool almost every day are taking care of some of that.

[Anita Cholaine]

Amen! That's one of the things that really bothers me...
