Not sure how to handle this personal peccadillo, and so thought to - what else?!? - start a thread that somehow may lead to some therapy.
So it's late, and I'll looking over the new and not so new threads within a section, looking for somewhere to plant some words that may start some discussion but won't overtax my brain too much, and so I'm reading over the thread titles, and then it happens... I get this urge to post one (or few) word answers to a thread, as, well, the answer's obvious and, well, you asked the question, didn't you? So far, I've held off, and I'm hoping that this thread will keep my typing at bay just a little longer, but...here's what I want to do, late in the night:
I hope that that will keep me away from your threads for at least a day or two. Keep me in mind the next time you end your thread title in a question mark, as I may just answer.

Servant or Master Master.
The Barrow-Downs? Website. Do Elves BURY their dead? Yeah. Do Balrogs Have Wings? Yesno. What's up with Celeborn? Nuthin. How many in Battle of 5 Armies? Five. Why destroy Laketown's bridge? Smaug. What? Huh?

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. ![]()

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.

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

What do your Elven eyes see? ♪I see skies of blue, clouds of white...♫ what were The Silent Watchers? they were Statues. MONEY in middle earth? SILVER in bree.

Okay, I want to laugh every time I see it (and since I have laryngitis at the moment, it's not a comfortable thing!), so I have to mention it. When I enter the main discussion forums page and it's there, I only see part of it:
How many Rangers of the North So of course the mind, being old and creaky, immediately completes it with: ...does it take to screw in a light bulb? Not the real full topic title, of course, but I laugh at weird things, I guess. ![]()

Not, sadly, the real thread title...but it was because the chicken crossed it and Sauron followed 'cause he wanted to barbeque and Isildur followed 'cause he wanted the shiny.

Warning/disclaimer: I really have nothing against cats. Really.
Copy-Cat Quotes - yes, what does he quote?
Copy-Cat of Copy-Cat Quotes - what it it with cats? Tolkien never liked them anyways! Cats of Queen Berutheil - see what I mean? Spelling mistakes and cats are... The Root of all Evil. - yes, that. Who is Queen Berúthiel? - ah, we're getting better at spelling, I see. Hounds or other dogs? - the best solutions for cats. Unfortunately, they don't help with spelling. The "evil" animals of ME - why, didn't you get it yet?! ![]() What kind of animals - whatever you want, just not cats EVIL creatures - aren't they, eh? Those villanous cats! Redefining Good & Evil - normal and catty Absolutely Evil - now you get it! Evil Women - catty, if you ask me. *shrugs* Why is Melkor so utterly evil?? - didn't you know? It's because his dungeons are filled with cats! Clear line between good and evil - I thought we discussed that. Cats are evil. Anticats are good. Balrogs: Good or Terrible - but cats are worse ![]() Are Hobbits capable of evil? - those who keep cats are Uhg- A terrible thought - to keep a cat is indeed a terrible thought. Scary BD Problem - the cats attacked! Somewhat scary - no comment
