Except that you've already called Whispers Whiskers in a past thread.

2. Maybe there should be a maximum length to the character and title size of threads on CCIE to prevent people from monopolizing the airwaves by spewing on and on without really saying anything.

In certain electronic organization skills courses and methods, using the titles/subject of forums posts/email messages to convey as much of the thought and subject of the message is considered a good practice. People tend to get the jist of the message and can decide to open or not, just as on ECCIE, people can see the topic in detail and decide to open or contribute to that thread.

3. Organize your thoughts. Great leaders do not bloviate endlessly. Eventually the bloviation of lesser leaders always ceases.
4. My mouse only has a limited number of clicks in its MLTBF (max lifetime before failure). Please treat it accordingly when you compose messages.
Thanks, Oz

No such thing as MLTBF. Such a thing would would imply a hard set limits at which a product would fail, and more than likely would be designed or programmed that way. I think what you are referring to is MTBF (mean time between failures) or sometimes, MTTF (mean time to failure). This is a meaningful stat that can be calculated from average failure rates of a product.
Also, as stated above, the long titles that give you a better idea of what the thread is about should save you some clicks of the mouse. I'm not sure how a long thread title contributes to your mouse wear and tear. Is a long thread title an irresistible draw that you can't help but click on?
Whiskers chafes my crack so he should be banned
