I get tired of reading messages which say:

	The title of that story was "Bedtime for Alpha Centauri".

without any reference to what story this is the title of.  I also get tired of
reading /multiple/ messages, all of which repeat the original message and then
say:

	The title of that story was "Franchise" by Isaac Asimov.

I would like to suggest that responses to title requests (et al) be sent off
net with the requester obligated to post a response giving the answer(s) [and
the question] at some future time.  Of course, this doesn't apply to all those
fun messages answering questions about the next Star Wars film or whatever,
since there are no "real" answers.  If you don't like this idea, please reply
off net and I will post responses.
