How we title our post, or the lack of it

Have we drifted into using adjectives instead of nouns to name many of our post or has it always been like it is now?
I feel like I miss many informative post. I do not have time to read them all so I skip the post named with only adjectives and read the post described with nouns.
Does anyone else find them selves in the same position and wish more post had the subject matter noun in the title?

I find myself doing the same thing. Skipping a post because it doesn't sound interesting then looking at it later and wondering why I didn't see it the first time.

I do the same thing, if I'm in a hurry and the title doesn't say much, I skip right over it. If a thread title was "Need help" rather than "Need help with binding" or "Need help with a quilting design", etc., it would be better. :)

If the title is not specific enough to catch my interest, I slso will skip it. Some times when I have gone back to a list, I have clicked on some of those and they are quite interesting. It would save us all time if we could immediately know what the ? is.

I agree too. If it's vague, or just a "teaser" like "Guess What?" I'm skipping over it, and probably missing some good stuff.
