Unless the poster is the AP reporter who wrote the item, it is by definition not a vanity.

it’s a vanity when it’s posted as breaking news when it isn’t. but now that’s been dealt with.

You’re so vain - you probably think you’re a moderator...

it’s vanity when it’s not news. And it was breaking news. Maybe when you’re here a full year you’ll get it right.

How is a Fox News story a vanity?

Roger Bergendorff, 57, an unemployed graphic artist, summoned an ambulance Feb. 14, complaining of respiratory distress. He spent almost four weeks in a coma and unconscious, and has been treated for kidney failure.

He remained in fair condition Thursday at a Las Vegas hospital.

A note from the actual moderators - can we drop this line of discussion? You’re preventing us from watching the NCAA tournament, and I’m ahead in the moderator pool so far.

The Free Republic Lexicon has never had a full and complete definition of "Vanity Post" BUT! If you do some homework you'll see there is no way this posting is a "Vanity."

A vanity post is a contribution written by the poster -- such as,
"Why I don't want Ricin in my Wheaties" by Freeper Sanitytime.

They have included posts like, "Help me name my dog," "Why does my kid always get ear infections," "I Need Help with my Economics Paper" etc.

In the early days of FR (and the Internet) the Breaking News category was often abused with people posting things like: "My dog just died," "How do you find your car keys?"

Those are vanity posts, wrongly placed under the category of Breaking News.

I hope this helps.

The human-lethal dose of Ricin is pretty tiny.

No if I have to work and miss the games so should you.

Hey, until JimRob shows up, we’re all slacking in the mod lounge watching Drake/WKU.
