[quote AlphaDog]Oh, relax. If you can't figure out what's being talked about my the subject line, then you undoubtedly have nothing to add to the discussion anyway.
You're absolutely right, but how will I know that until I waste time opening the thread?
The fact of the matter is that inscrutable thread titles create "cliques" which is detrimental to the forum, and furthermore it is RUDE not to have clear, understandable thread titles so that non-clique members know it's not for them.
Just adding the word "Sopranos:" to the beginning of your thread title would have made all the difference, but you're just too LAZY and INCONSIDERATE to do so because you appear to think that the only "Tony and Christopher" in the freakin' WORLD happen to be in the Sopranos.
For the record, I thought you were referring to Tony BLANKLEY and Christopher HITCHENS, who have a relationship that your subject line could have easily been referring to, though it would have been more political and thus wrong for this forum.
I entered the thread to see if that was indeed what you were on about, and if so to let you know that you'd posted to the wrong "side."
Completely true, but how do you know WHICH threads not to look at? I'll tell you how: THOUGHTFUL forum members make their subject lines CLEAR, that's how.
Hope that clears things up for you.

It is not mandatory that every forum member read every thread.
