BAH!! Those GD people

Edited on Wed Aug-20-03 05:44 PM by dolo amber

wouldn't know a good article if it bit 'em in the tuchas!

C'mon, my lounge lizard brethren, read my fine contribution to today's DU proceedings. (I DO try to post to at least one actual *newsworthy* thread a day instead of just playing with you fools ;):P)

5. I can tell you why it didn't get much response

If you would have included a few snips out of the article in your original post it would have generated more interest. There's been discussion about this before on DU - many people will decline to click the link for the article and read further without a teaser.

6. you know the rules over there

You have to post tinfoily crap about how Bush is TOAST "any day now", etc, or bash the south, centrists, Greens, blah blah...

I am still waiting for the last round of toaster posters who claimed the SOTU lie would bring Chimpy down to apologize for their wasting of bandwidth. Watergate, indeed.

7. I saw if but did not click onto your link

I never click a link if there is not a clear description of what it is, particularly with all the viruses going around. A month ago someone asked how many won't click in GD without a descriptor, a lot of members said they tend not to. Then an argument and name calling started as per the new regulations.

9. That's not how it works

The virus is not in the "thread", it's at the website. But that's another issue.....

You will get a better response if you include a snip from the article. Most people don't read everything that is offered even with a teaser, so if you don't include one you won't get much response.

That's just the way it is.
