Gottlieb just said...
Any idea where the team will be..
Did anyone see the graphic....
These guys are gonna cheer for Marquette in San Jose....(still kind of gets a message across though)

I don't know, maybe I'm just being ornery, but I like subject titles that actually shed some light on the subject.

I understand now.  I like them cause they are cliffhangers.  Gets people intereested to open the post.  Plus if i actually had a title that was about what I was going to write in the post, no one would read them.

Yeah, I'm not trying to start anything.  I mainly just wanted to make a thread lightly poking at something I noticed by doing it myself (periods of ellipses in the subject of my thread pointing out the periods of ellipses)

elipses, for those of you who were sleeping through Freshman English at MU, are three periods next to eachother (...), it implies that something else is supposed to follow or that there is something left out: "I hate Notre Dame...They are pretty boys."

And yes, a lot of topics and posts have included them lately...
