Orange feather boas

It does not bother me as I read all my email notifications all the wayh through. I do odd titles that are on the topic of the discussion yet off topic as well to attract attention to mine. The first sentence or two are also a tad off topic but yet along the lines of the topic as well. This generates a lot more interest in my discussions. I don't always do this but when I do I seem to get a lot more responses. Of course when I do this I get some responses geared towards the title alone and know the person did not read the whole discussion by what they responded with. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

If it gets a reply thats all that matters. It caught my eye anyway so here I am replying to it. No I do not feel deceived at all. I am actually glad it is not about orange feather boas. What on earth would I have said about them. A good topic Dawn. I reply to some discussions also that the title has nothing to do with the discussion.

If a title catches me ye, I will read further to see if the discussion its self leads to an interest. Most times it does and I give a reply. I tend to answer discussions late. because well it seems I always a day late and a dollar short. But that leads to a new discussion already, now doesn't it?

Naw, just annoyed. But I wanted to hear about orange feather boas!

I look at the title and decide what the discussion is going to be about. Another clue is the topic it is headed under. I saw a discussion posted under a very unusual topic and it should have been posted under 'travel'. It doesn't bother me if the header has nothing to do with the topic if I understand the what is written in the discussion. The other day a discussion had a poor header and then talked about something different entirely. Someone mentioned he or she should have done a cut and paste of the information they wanted to highlight. English is my mother tongue and I am learning Spanish. I admire people's attempts at English and know that is why some headers have nothing to do with the topic.

I often wonder why the header is chosen. I guess I'm not irate about it or anything. But are these same people the ones who always complain that their whole post was not read?...........probably!

I would feel deceived! But like what you said, it doesn't bother me whether the topic is associated with the whole discussion. If the discussion or the contents itself interests me, I would reply but if it doesn't I wouldn't waste time replying. Happy holidays dawnald. HUGZ always!
