I’m by what happened in Sparky’s post (#15080.) Are we allowed to change answers with which we don’t agree?

[Bullitt]

I don’t think so.

It looks like Sparky merely copied the previous post without adding anything.

[Annie-Xmas]

Please don’t change any answers:

1. 2000: Disputed US Presidential election
2. 2001: The 9-11 terrorist attacks
3. 2002: Rescue of the trapped miners in Pennsylvania
4. 2003: Explosion of space shuttle Columbia
5. 2004: Passing of Ronald Reagen

No, he changed the 2002 answer.

As a side note, does anybody else notice a huge lag when hitting “quote” to reply to one of these? It’s very frustrating because I always feel like I’m racing against time. Maybe it’s time to start Baker’s Dozen 2 since we’re up to 300 pages?

(case in point: Annie-Xmas slipped in with her latest post before I could get this reply off.)

Actually, I simulposted, then tried to fix it with an edit and screwed the list up! Sorry, about that, but that’s a good point, what criteria are we using for the top stories? We’re talking big world news stories right, not local or national level stuff.

[Annie-Xmas]

Whatever the poster feels is the biggest news story for that year (within common sense, of course.) It’s just a game, folks.

This has been happening to me for the past week or so.

I looked at the list of 2002’s top stories for the year and selected the one that meant the most to me - the category heading says “top stories” not “biggest story”

and it’s only a game.

I meant to also say… Quoting, for me, hasn’t been problematic. But usually I C&P and then add my entry.
