Okay, so I'm sure everyone's been really annoyed by "carefully crafted" newbie subject lines that are entirely non-descriptive like:

"Help me!"
"Problem"
"DVD"
"For the love of gawd, help me!!"
"IF I USE ALL CAPS, I KNOW SOMEONE WILL HELP ME"
"question about..."
"Newbie confusion"
"totally confused"

I think it would be fun to have a thread of the least descriptive subject lines you've ever seen.

Or, at least let me know if you find this phenomenon as irritating as I do! :)

Hell yeah it's annoying. You know what else is annoying is when there's like 20 threads for the same damn thing (RE2, Little Black Book, Friday Night Lights). People should search before they post.

I hate the posts that say "I have a problem with whatever software. Can you help?" Then you ask questions and they don't answer them. Makes me wonder why I even try sometimes.

Don't forget how they try to bold the thread title too.
