What you actually mean is: Correctly reading the title of the thread and comprehending it using the accepted rules of English grammar and then failing to understand that the OP and many others don't understand the accepted rules of English grammar and like it the way it is.
It might not be rocket science, but it's not correct or logical either.
Will this ever stop? Please for love of all our sanity, just deal with it.
This isn’t an English A-Level exam, it’s a world-wide car forum. Nobody wins a prize for the best understanding or use of the King’s and getting the most virtual “F- (see me)” red pen or whatever fancy colour teachers use now to b
k 10 year olds.

This thread was f
ked from the start, having been given an ambiguous title.
Miraculously it is now on it’s 7th Volume due to the interesting variety of stuff that people post up.
(Although at least 2 volumes are probably accounted for by people arguing about what the thread is for.
)
For that reason I’d stay well away from the thread called THE BEST ///M/BARGE/GENERAL RANT/LOOK AT THIS/O/T .
Another long-runner who’s title I’ve never been able to decipher at all.

No, but it's an object lesson in what happens when it's used incorrectly. Unlike this one, which cost the US a fair bit. (Also, quite topical)
“For this error, we have to go all the way back to 1872, when the US government began placing tariffs on imports to boost its revenues. One of the items meant to be taxed was fruit. However, due to a punctuation error, fruit imports were deemed tax exempt for a short period.
The tariff act stated that "fruit, plants" were tax exempt. Merchants (correctly) interpreted this to mean that all fruit and plants should not be taxed. What was intended by the government, however, was that plants for growing fruit were exempt”.

The thread title is ambiguous and left as an exercise for the reader. Nobody should be surprised that people see what they want to see.
