In the future, keep in mind that messages to moderator need to be addressed to "admin moderator." I did that with this post, you don't have to post the title correction request again.

FYI..if you want the admin mods to read your post, you have to ping them

You can get replies from the moderators by clicking on your report abuse button and requesting the change. I just did so let's see if it catches their eye and they change it. Also, you can request the change from the sidebar moderator rather than the admin moderator. Sidebar mods are usually doing a lot of monitoring that admins aren't during off hours.

This thing is finding legs.

The Santelli call for a “Chicago Tea Party” has hit a nerve.

CNBC reported this morning that the video of his unscripted ‘rant’ has been downloaded 1.75 million times from the CNBC website. [That excludes any copies that are on blogs and other websites.]

The poll to join the Tea Party is running at:
