I hear ya..
I am a very competitive fellow if you want to call it that, but I ain't here to win an award either for posting the most 1 liner Breaking News threads w/o links (not that it is a bad thing , mind you), a few folks are pretty good at it, it is the nature of the beast and the media rich age we live in, I reckun. I don't mind beng a backfiller, the "pay" is the same after all. lol ;-)
Bottom line, I don't care if I post a Breaking News events or a new promising health care item, just so the truly genuine news of interest is snagged and available down the road if needed..
Amen, as long as we get it... the more info... the better.
