Cannot change the title, I tried to. Look at the original post.

And are you a member of the Census Bureau? How do you know where "most" people are located?

Sorry you feel it's a waste of time. If it was such a waste of time to you why scroll through the comments, read them, and post one yourself? Once you realized it didn't benefit you, you could've moved on. You opted not to.

I didn't waste your time nor did this thread, that decision was all your own my friend.

Also, I apologized for this error several times.

People need to stop being complete douchebags. I don't live in LA and you don't see me pissing and moaning about it. It really won't kill you to take 5 seconds to open up the thread, read that it's B&M only and move on. You're just being an asshole for asshole sakes. Even though I won't benefit from this I want to thank the OP for giving people heads up on this.

Just stop being assholes when someone is trying to help the board out. I don't know why people get this elitist attitude on the internet, you're not cool just leave the thread if it's not a deal for you.

Just stop being assholes when someone is trying to help the board out. I don't know why people get this elitist attitude on the internet, you're not cool just leave the thread if it's not a deal for you.

Thank you.

That's not the point.

It's easier for a single poster to use a descriptive thread title than for everyone else to click on the thread and read it only to end up disappointment.

Pointing that out isn't being an "asshole" or a "douchebag". It's just pointing out forum etiquette/rules for future reference. No one here was even rude about it really, all things considered. Just a bunch of frustration, and rightfully so.

It was purely accidental. Plain and simple.

Lesson learned. Can we move on now, please?

I agree. It has gotten to the point where I don't want to post anything anymore....

"Man, change the freaking title. Most ppl don't live in LA so this thread is a waste of time."

Struck me as rude, as it followed multiple similar requests, apologies, revelations of attempts to change it and even discussion of said attempts.

I did. I used this same coupon last month. It appears in the local LA Weekly paper every once in a while. It works on used complete series boxed sets, too! Got the huge 60-disc Little House on the Prairie set. It was still sealed, but priced used at $176.99. I used the coupon and got it for $106.20. A steal!

I never bothered to post it because it is a local thing. Maybe they can edit the title and put "CA Locations" only in the title.

Actually you came off quite rude and yes you sounded like a complete ass or douchebag as I put it earlier. I know that the OP made a mistake by not including B&M in the title but he apologized and you still had to chime in and be an asshole about it. People like you come in these threads being completely rude and scare away posters who may have contributed good deals in the future but why should they when they get nothing but disrespect for one little mistake which is not a problem at all. I still stand by the fact that it doesn't hurt you one bit, I promise those 10 seconds of your life you wasted clicking on this thread weren't that important anyways.

Proper thread titles are absolutely vital to this forum, being that we're talking about deals that sometimes only last minutes or hours. Anyone who has earned their stripes here has learned by now that if a deal is B&M-only - you specify that in the thread title.

Even though the OP feels like he's being punished for a simple mistake, I can promise you he won't forget to be more in-depth the next time he posts a deal.

Earned their stripes? Is this the military now? Jesus Christ!

Punished? Really? I don't think so. I apologized, and that's that. What are you, the Thread Gestapo? Is your life so insignificant that you can't let this go? Get over it. Problem rectified. Solution found.

And by the way, you can promise that I won't forget next time? Interesting. Thanks Kreskin. The only thing you can promise and I can guarantee is when someone accidentally omits something from a thread title you'll be there, smugly rubbing their face in it.

Thanks for being helpful! Oh, that last bit was sarcasm.

BTW, I'll think twice next time about posting a deal because of delusional, self-righteous assholes such as yourself.

Yes. Yes. Amen!

Yes. Yes. I do. Thanks. Yes. Yes. Ok. Ok. Ok.

Yes. Sure is! You're welcome! Oh.

You're welcome! Really?!

We'll all be a little sad when you don't post that next misleading deal.

Sorry for coming off rude. I thought you was just refusing to change the title at the time.

I am frustrated because this forum is increasing been filled with weak or useless deals. I was so tired of clicking on the Circuit City thread to find zero deals until recently. Maybe we need a thread icon like a flame to indicate really hot deal :D

Also, some ppl resurrect old threads to post about not receiving a dvd from their order or something, and it appears like the deal is alive again.

The heading was misleading, not the deal genius. And I look forward to posting another deal YOU can't take advantage of.

I have no problem with people correcting the OP but people are being complete asses about it. The OP is genuinely trying to help and when people spit in his face because of one little mistake whats to keep him from coming back and continuing to help out the community
