Nitpicky. You said it.

Plenty of topics can follow this format. My dissertation had a question title: doesn't mean I didn't discuss anything therein! Besides, it shouldn't be the responsibility of a topic-starter in a discussion forum to remind everyone that discussion is encouraged in the thread.

  • Where is Aeglos? - It wasn't my turn to watch it.
  • What was Shelob, and more importantly, what was Ungoliant? - Spiders?!?
  • What do your Elven eyes see? - Not much beyond the jar I keep them in.
  • What Next To Read . . .? - See next line.
  • How Did Gollum Lose the Ring? - No pocketses, of course.

Question Welcome Back, Kotter.
I don't mind the thread titles that ask a full question, but the topics that sound like they were created by Vinnie Barbarino truly leave me shaking my head (i.e. What? Where? How? When?). I believe a topic should at least give a clue as to what is hidden within, just a click away.

Your sense obviously isn't refined enough to see that, clearly, that Huh?, Huh..What? and Ahh...What?? are about Balrog eating habits prior to the first sunrise, the perspiration levels of Shire porcine and the Quenya translation of Sam Gamgee's version of the Lay of Lúthien, respectively.

Did Aragorn really walk around the Wild with just a broken sword for protection? Condoms aren't mentioned in Middle-earth.

The Barrow-Downs? Is that like coffee, tea or me?

Short end of the stick, so to speak... picking straws?

Re-release? Tom Jones gets to love again.

Actually from what I have heard it is quite unusual for monkeys to eat bananas in the wild, apparently it is too fattening.
