Maybe it is to indicate that the poster is thinking in a broad strategic way on the great issues of the day? They are inviting others if similar gravitas to enlighten us. Or, on the evidence of all previous postings, not.

It's so that you know the poster is GTV from Brizzle of course!

Or it would be Terrifically Topical, therefore TT

But then there'd be a danger that the lycra+plucked chicken legs mob would mistake that for some sort of thread on how to shave 0.01 secs off their "PB for a 10", and all come slavering onto the Commuting forum in their funny helmets and tri-bars
