Dr. Hsiung,
I am requesting that you make a determination as to if the following is acceptable or not in relation to the guidlines of the forum.
The poster writes to me,[...do you only post...to pick out peices of member's posts?...]
and
[...the only posts ...by yourself...to be against the site and the people's messages here...]
and
[....you have frustrations....]
Lou Pilder

Lou..can I please ask what cryptic meanings are usually at the end of each subject, such as "colaevden"??? It would make it much clearer if you just said what you had to in your message, not stick it in the subject line.

Hi Jay,
To the best of my memory, Lou has not answered rainbowbrite's similar question. I can't speak for Lou, but I do remember reading once that he uses abbreviations of post's subjects in his subject line as an aid for him to find posts later.Hope this helps. Perhaps Lou will answer rain's and your questions himself as well.

Lou's answered this question a few times.
It's "Lou Shorthand" it makes it easier for him to find the posts if he needs to refer to them later on, usually it's a blend of a couple of key words in the post.As for making things clearer, I've not seen too many subject headings that actually clearly refer to the content of the posts, except perhaps on the med board.
Often a question to Dr. Bob will just say
Dr. Bob I have a question..
If we were all held to a standard of clarity in our subject headings, Babble would look very different.
This is the end of the thread.
