Please don't put parts of your question in the subject line without
repeating everything in the body of the post. I know I'm not the only
one who doesn't read subject lines, and it's like writing a report,
putting the essence of it on the title page, and then not putting that
in the report itself In my opinion it's stupid, I mean, less than
optimum, and I wouldn't have known what you were talking about if I
hadn't read terry's answer.

It might be just as ugly, but many acs can be installed through the
wall, with a sleeve designed for that purpose and that model ac. But
you'd stilll have the window to open easily when it wasn't that hot or
cold out.

Why would you open a topic of discussion if you don't know the subject?

Sometimes I use one key to just go from one post to the next, without
looking at the table of contents page at all.

Curiosity? If so, then you must not have much else going on in life to sit
and open many topics without reading the subject.

IMO, I think you're making a mountain from a molehill.

If my issue is a molehill, I think yours is a molehill squared. Less
important than mine. But you plainly think it's worth posting about,
and so did I.

I find it beneficial
to read a question in the subject line to know what it's related to. This

I'm not at all against their putting the question in the subject line.
I like that a lot better than using titles like "Question" or "Help
me" or even the broad "Electrical question".

I'm against their *not* putting the question in the body of the
question.

isn't a writing class and just because you fail to read the subject line
doesn't mean everyone else does. I actually can't imagine who would not read
a subject line prior to opening the thread.

I'm not the only one who has complained about this. Plus there are
probably many more who don't like it but haven't complained.

Perhaps you need to be a little less uptight. Stop trying to make people
change to accommodate you instead of taking the time to put effort into
changing your own habit(s). Self absorbed people are annoying.

All these things could just as easily be said about you, given that
you've complained about something which I think is at most no more
imporant than what I complained about.

While you may think it's more important, there are a lot more posts
like the OP's than there are like mine. So that alone makes that
problem more important. I don't complain every time I see one like
his, but in this case, his post actually made sense without the
subject line. But it made no reference to the attic, which is why I
ended up writing an answer about wall sleeves, and ignoring attics.
