To those who are about to post on Dan Rather's upcoming announcement . . .

[Chichiri]

If you put actual content in your post -- even a sentence or two summary of what Dan says would be nice -- I will be happy with you.

If, in lieu of that, you put something to the effect of DAN RATHER ROCKS!!! or DAN RATHER HAS BECOME A WHORE!!!, I will not.

Just FYI.

5. He doesn't look worried or stressed though? Talking top stories

Hurricanes and now Martha Stewart

[Ducks In A Row]

6. I wonder if they won't say anything,

it will drive the other networks crazy.

7. Hmmm--don't new "post policemen" have to pass a review and get elected?

self-appointment is against forum rules, as I recall.
My unrequested advice:

Don't like a post? skip it.

REALLY don't like a post? put it on "hide."

REALLy don't like a poster? put em on ignore.

and the next time DU reqiests new Moderators, be sure to volunteer.

10. Forum mandate or not . . .

my "policing" -- really nothing more than a statement of my own reactions to certain stimuli, actually -- seems to have worked so far, at least in this thread.

Think of it as my own unrequested advice.

13. Amuse yourself on our public forum in any way and as much as you wish

I'm only trying to assist.

FYI, when a hot news story happens and people are trying to transcribe what is said to inform the cubicle dwellers, oftentimes the subject line only is used for the remark, because the thread is too fast-paced to include a message also. As you post here more, you will see this is just a necessity, and not the annoying thing you are describing, which is a bit trying.

welcome to DU!

:hi:

15. Thanks! (n/t)

14. CBS showed a clip of Killian's secretary

who has been interviewed for tonight's 60 Minutes program (8pm EST)

She says, as we've heard before, that the documents are fake but the content in them is accurate. The President of CBS News said he was redoubling efforts to clear up the doubts about this story.
