WHY IS IT THAT.....!!!!!
People persist in starting posts like this? Covert subject line, all caps, overuse of exclamation marks. Is it to get people to look at their posts? I find it offensive and immature. Most always the content is of a whining or tantrum nature. Mature users (of which I observe 99% of Cakewalk forum participants to be 99% of the time) simply state their issue in the subject line, i.e. "Problem with MIDI timing" or "EZ Drummer advice", etc. How many more times will we have to see subject lines such as: HELP!!!!!!!!! IS IT ME OR.......... EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!! Please feel free to add your own examples. This might be fun  Newbies - please simply state your issue in the subject line. There's enough drama around here to last through Sonar version 12.

As annoying as this can be to other people the core concept of a forum is an open place where people bring up what ever they want.
If a topic has been set for a particular forum then the questions, problems, complaints, advice and so on should remain on topic and the mediator(s) need to be there to take care of that.
This is true freedom and not a false freedom propagandised into peoples precious belief systems through double speak and other tricks.
We should never suppress other people’s freedom for any reason no matter how much we are annoyed by what they have to say.

tecton ... Generous sentiments, but I think all Rick was saying was something like "Please use a meaningful header in your posts - it will make it easier for people to help you." Or something like that! Best, Geoff

Rick, Steve, Brendan, et al...
Linking two idiot threads together is even worse. Instead of learning how to make better music, you are worried about thread titles??
You have no idea how old the thread starter who posts those kind of threads is or their maturity level. That's probably exactly the way that they whine to their parents. They have no real-world communication skills yet. But they are asking for help no matter how they do it. Help them! They grow up eventually, especially if we all set a good example for them.
Your thread here is exactly at the same level as what you are complaining about. Quit wasting our time! And how mature was it for someone the start a whole new thread to link to this one and then bump it? It's just like the 13-year-olds do in the computer forums.

IS THIS FOR REAL? WHO REALLY CARES HOW A POST IS STARTED? SO LONG AS IT IS WITHIN THE TOS . ITS THE MAKE UP OF THE THREAD THAT COUNTS. IF WE COME ACROSS THE REALLY ANNOYING REDUNDANT,IRRITATING,OBVIOUS,LONG WINDED(me) CROSS,SHORT,LOOK AT ME.....THREADS................... WE CAN JUST IGNORE THEM. ......WOW....... WHAT A CONCEPT.................CHOICE. YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's enough drama around here to last through Sonar version 12. My Bad I forgot how simply unpolite caps are  (for those who care so much)

Actually, I think the biggest waste of time is to go through life without a sense of humor. I'm glad I haven't outgrown fun. Good one Rick! I was thinking as I clicked the link, "damn I hate these posts with nothing in the subject... but I have to look and see what this bonehead is asking!" Best laugh I've had on the forums in a long time!!

Rick, You just made a post just like the ones you hate. IMO you're not better than the ones who make them

I'm guilty of using capital letters for a thread title, i never thought anything to be wrong with it. I'm also guilty of having a thread sent to the off topic forum so what do i know? I'm quite sure this one will be joining mines in OT Heaven tho

Yep, just shooting for a little lighthearted fun. I knew it would be lost on some, oh well. Good though Rick, I get your point, and the fun way you made it.

My "favorite" kind of subject is : SONAR 6 !!!!!
and then the message itself something like "WHEN IS IT COMING OUT?".
