There were a couple of others.  And I didn't like it myself, but I felt that it
would be a bit of a stretch to suggest better titles if nobody else minded.  It
seems that several were of the same opinion...  until they saw the point brought
up in public, they were just going to "grin and bear it."

I think the suggestion was reasonable, as I have been _extremely_ busy the
past couple of months, and try to be selective in what I read here.  I try to
scan the things like the french championship, then the dutch championship,
and then the world cup.  But wait, the last was not what it claimed to be, and
I wasted some time discovering this.

That was the only point.  A minor one of course, but a point...  IE I also
agree with the old policy that says "Fischer threads get deleted".  They
only lead to flame wars.  We have the beginnings of one now, but I've been
silent (as have the other moderators) unless someone complains.
