Folks!
Let's settle down. Let's do what a good breaking news Freep thread used to do.
DISSEMINATE NEWS IN A REAL TIME FASHION AS RESPONSIBALY AS IS POSSIBLE.
Drop the flame wars, wild guesses, unsubstantiated speculation and just plain nonsense.
Up to 3,000 posts now and I'm sure 1,500 posts could have never been sent if we all used a little restraint.
If your tired, mad or whatever, just suck it up and post only when you have new information or have a comment directly relevant to what is going on right now.
Leave the junk to the MSM. They are experts at it!

Killjoy!
We love the extraneous, the fights, the repartee, the slap down, the indignation. That is us, that is who we are.

For better or worse, this is how live threads go. Eventually news gets slow and side conversations form.
If this thread were only actual news items it would be about 100 posts. We haven't had anything that is really new since about 10 or 11 am.
