That's how I feel after reading most, "please read!" posts. I really should not read them, but everytime I do, I secretly hope the person has something decent to say. They normally don't...

You see now, I am generally curious about the type of personality who would feel the need to put that in the title of their post, hence me checking it out, but it annoys me a little bit.

I actually only clicked on this topic now so I could post something along the lines of, "Put content in your title. This is a useless, spammy title."

Thank you! That was exactly my point. I wouldn't normally do this, but I felt it was necessary to do given the recent, "please read!" posts. They annoy me.

I bet that the title 'Please do not read!!!' would be more successful. :)

I bet you're right! I'm not going to test it out, but I bet you're right.

I couldn't seem to help myself but to check it, but I was thinking as I clicked on it "what kind of a freaking title is this for a post - I think I'm going to start complaining about people who do this".

That's how I feel for everyone who does it. It's why I pointed it out, lol. :)
I felt it was ok to suspend my dislike for people who do it so I could point out how ridiculous it is.

Ha, that was not my intention. I just wanted to see if the title actually works. Seems it does. :)

I prefer the Beatles' version:  "Please, Please Me!"
