Should it be encouraged to start your post in the body versus in the title and continue in body

no there's no point
yes, It's like when someone sends you an email, and the whole message is in the subject line.
Depending on the board

So now you have to open the thread, in order to see if you want to open it.

You missed the boat, I was't criticizing the title it could stay the way it was.
I was pointing out that a Title is a description of an article and not the beginning of an article.

I don't like that title. I like to have some idea of what the thread's about before opening it.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

You're right, I was focused on the body not on the title

"belts?"
is not a description
the title should've been "Are there any good belts on sale?" and repeat it in the body

So now you have to open the thread, in order to see if you want to open it.
I didn't notice you're referring to that thread, I thought you where referring to what I posted
as long as you don't have to read the title, to know what that guy is saying then it's good

After all
I'm guilty

After all
Please keep me out of this. Especially quoting a post of mine way out of context.

He just linked this thread on a recent post. I don't get around to reading all posts on DDF.

It's like when someone sends you an email, and the whole message is in the subject line. argh, I hate when people do that.
Ooh major pet peeve. Clients do that to me. Sometimes I miss the subject line and think they sent a blank email by mistake. Later they're like "I emailed you 2 hours ago!"
If you don't care why would you comment?
