Cool Help me! Pleeeze! It's urgent!

... _not_ until you learn to create a thread title that reflects your problem.

It's really a bit of a problem lately. So many users come here, create an account, and somehow think too ego-centrically. While "Heeeeeeeelp!" might seem perfectly appropriate to _you_, it doesn't tell your reader anything about your actual problem. Let's say your problem is that your Mac only boots correctly half of the time. Well: Then state "Boot problems" in your thread title. There's even space for a thread title like this: "My PowerBook (15") only boots correctly half of the time!" Inside the thread, you can further lay out your problem. But don't forget that it's important to create a good thread title, too. Pleese. Really.
