This is actually a grrreat writers tip!
Thanks for reminding us about this Neutral Singh.

For those who don't know ...
Google et al will pick up the first XX characters of a posting when a thread title comes up in a search.

Also members/visitors searching through your threads may or may not open your post depending on the first XX characters.

If you want people to read what you have posted, be smart and use this little teaser to your advantage.

I remember some time ago when I realized this at my own site and actually revisited some of my past (info oriented) threads, and made some alterations to the first paragraph for this very purpose.

I got into this way of thinking whenever I posted ... but well ... stuff happens ... and I forgot all about this. Time to revisit the past again when I have some spare moments.

Again, Thanks Neutral Singh!
For those who don't care or feel this is restricting your 'freedom of expression' ... phttttuy, it's your loss - our gain
