Without MEANINGFUL Subjects, Even *ADVANCED* Search Will Fail!
« on: December 02, 2006, 04:07:03 AM »

[Meaningful, *AND* correctly spelled. :-[ ]

Members:

***PLEASE*** give some thought to your Subjects (Titles) regarding future SEARCHes on your same topic.

 For example, the following titles are, IMHO, next to useless:

  • Need Expert Help...
    .
  • Desparate... I Don't Know What To Do
    .
  • email
    .
  • I have magnetic sensor and...
    .
  • RF Transmission
    .
  • security mode
    .
  • It drives me crazy

Community Organizers:

When you read a post, consider how a SEARCH would respond to it.

"I'm Desperate" doesn't convey nearly as much information as "Do I Need a Transceiver to Allow Motion Sensors to Communicate With Lamp Modules?"

*IF* your first impression is that the Subject bears NO RELATION WHATSOEVER to the content, ***PLEASE*** edit it!
