Threads like this should be banned. Put the subject in the subject bar. Not some inane variation on "interesting". You might as well just call the thread "nice, or "happy" or "good".

Indeed. The amount of people starting threads with completely misleading titles... Rolling Eyes
-or posting sensationalist titles in capitals with dozens of exclamation marks to draw attention to what is a basically a boring or minority-interest subject.

almost should be a sticky.

This was the silliest story.
By that I mean all participants were downright sheltered.

And yes, there should have been a title. I could have clicked the link with more appreciation for what it held.

I want my three and a half minutes back! Evil or Very Mad
