I get pretty excited when I read the news sometimes. Often a story will jump out at me as being pretty cool or interesting, and I’ll come to the Dope to see if someone has started a thread. More often than not, someone has, and a lively discussion (occasionally) ensues.
However, I really can’t see a reason for this:
2:42pm: “Oh, nifty. Somebody found a way to determine the age of the universe. I know, I’ll post a thread with a one-line linkand a quote from the article.”
2:51pm: “Oh, look! Another article about space! I know, I’ll post a thread with a one-line linkand a quote from the article.”
2:57pm: “Holy Cow!! I read another news article! I know, I’ll post a thread with a one-line link and a quote from the article.”
3:00pm: “Great Googly Moogly!! Something else has been discovered and I read about it!! I know, I’ll post a thread with a one-line link and a quote from the article.”
3:06pm: “Great Galloping Monkey Turds!!! I read another story! And this one’s about space!!! I know, I’ll post a thread with a one-line linkand a quote from the article.”
Give it a break, Reuters boy. You’re not a news service, and I don’t think the board needs constant news updates every time you read something. Why don’t you try reading the news, then decide what you thought was really cool, then post a thread about it that actually gives an opinion about the subject?
