Is This Now the News Headline Forum?

Postby PrivateSmiles » Fri Feb 15, 2013 2:09 pm

Why do we keep having news headlines posted here that are available to anyone with a TV, Internet access, a newspaper...basically, anyone who doesn't live under a rock.

So boring and space-wasting. What is up with all that?

Those articles are not shown on TV news, Internet news, newspapers. You're comparing apples to hubcaps. Many of those horseracing articles are buried in Horseracing online sites that are not in-your-face, can't-be-avoided like the dubious, of no importance "news" articlesthat show up on this side. No comparison at all.

I don't read them. Unfortunately, the thread subjects still appear. The IGNORE/FOE setting doesn't work for those. Have to wade past all them to get to maybe a nugget actually worth the bandwidth space.

I can see your point, the program needs to be redone by a person who uses it.
