Re: Add instruction to use a "good description title"?

[snafu]

I have two-cents(tm) I'd like to give this write-up.

First, I would like to say that the point brought up is a good one. However, I'd like to play the devils advocate.

While the idea is to encourage folks to use titles that are descriptive and meaningful, newbies, which I believe we are all in agreement are widely accepted as the culprits, although they are not entirely the cause of the whole problem, will still not be able to *because* most of the time newbies don't know the Perl or even the Programming buzzwords to make a good title. Therefore, if a newbie who doesn't know the buzzwords attempts to create a good title what that newbie ends up doing is creating a quite loooong title trying to describe his/her problem the best he/she can. AFAIK, loooong titles are also discouraged. Therefore, our friend, the newbie, has just been snagged by a catch-22.

I have no easy solution to this as no one or no group of people can ensure that our friend, the newbie, will know HOW to describe his/her problem which I sincerely believe is the cause of a lot of bad titles. Btw, I agree that not all posts nor all newbies plagued with this catch-22. However, I think that a great many of them do get snagged by this situation.
