Personally I hate it, and my thoughts are that if the thread starter can't be bothered to write a description or their argument as well as posting the link then I really can't be bothered to open it and reply.

Possibly of course that it's just me being a grumpy old so and so, but what do you others think?
You are spot on. If they can't come up with a half decent opening post they shouldn't bother.

Re: Lazy thread openings

It really doesn't bother me, I usually click on a new thread and if there is a link I'll read it but if it doesn't interest me I just don't bother following it.

Re: Lazy thread openings

I remember a chap on here who would post just a link, but follow it with a poem, which sufficed very well instead of spoken words.
I miss those
