It doesn't seem to have inhibited the development of Mudcat for folks to have needed to exercise a bit of creativity. :~)

When a poster has used that creatitivity to create a title working within those limitations - this is not recognised when they are seen to be 'second-guessed' when further details are added to their chosen thread title by anonymous fellow posters who are not (for some reason) seen to be working within those same limitations.

When further details are added (without the originator's knowledge or permission) - it can look as if some form of a value judgement is being made on the originator's chosen title?

And in these cases - a needless one as the details imposed into the new title are freely available to anyone opening the threads concerned.
