No, I'm acting like you consistently want your take on the matter to trump all other user comments on the thread.

Sometimes I am busy and only have a short amount of time to dedicate to "my take" - others, I spend more time, when I have it. Edit: This link is kind of a fractal representation of what I am talking about. You will say I didn't spend much time on it and it's not my best post, but I also don't feel like wasting the time looking for a better example. You see what I mean - about wasting time and efficiency? It kind of doesn't matter what someone thinks of it, when you know it's working for you.

My time is important to me - and I take out of it to share things and sometimes, that sharing is cutting into work or other such things, so it's not really a priority, but I want to share it anyway. Sorry if that doesn't "work for you".

Ah, I see you're using public ridicule as an argument against my opinion.

Like you did to begin this conversation?

Regardless of that, if you thought I was calling you silly, I was absolutely not! It is an experience I've had a lot on Reddit and once or two on here however and I seek to avoid the wasted time and negativity by distancing myself from titles that might seem unsettling.

Again, I was not referring to you in that sentence - or any of the other examples, I was explaining why I do it (because of OTHER people).

Well, I think that since the users select what to send in AND have the ability to both change the title or make a new one, the user have editorial responsibility over those parts of the post and even a bit of responsibility for the validity of the content.

I present the title of the article (as brought to you by whomever it is authored by) and then add my opinion on the end - when I don't have time to make a huge "submission statement" - which I enjoy taking my time on. Everyone is free to ignore it if they wish, it's not my loss.

I don't consider posting one's own comments in the post title as an improvement in efficiency,

You may not, but it works for me when I'm in a rush.

but I DO consider the use of visibility tactics as a desire for attention.

Or to facilitate visibility to share pertinent information that I found that I feel may be valuable to others - considering the state of affairs.

Edit 2:

No, I'm acting like you consistently want your take on the matter to trump all other user comments on the thread.

And if that is how is appears, I sincerely apologize.
