Thread Name: In the UK......? (thread title change complaint)
Subject: RE: In the UK..............?
Shambles, you certainly may have had no intent to "lure" anybody in with a less than clear title, but, face it, that can be exactly the effect whether desired or not. As Jeri has mentioned above, readers of threads have some rights as well. And, I'd submit, one of those rights is not to have to waste their time even opening those threads in which they have no interest.

As for seeing the thread's original title very quickly, yes, I clicked on it shortly after the post was made and noted in the same Mudcat session that it had been changed, in my estimation for the better. Interestingly enough, I continue to read the thread because I am interested in what's happening regarding the PEL's. Perhaps, had I not seen the original when I did, I might be more inclined to open the thread because of the modified title, since I'm not often interested in the doings of fundamentalist preachers even when they manage to get something right.

I understand your devotion to your cause. But, I submit, you do your cause more harm than good by constantly berating those who work to provide you with a forum to spread your views. You would better spend your time choosing your battles wisely.
