I posted it, but not to breaking news.

I posted an article from the Houston Chronicle, not a vanity.

And finally, I didn't post as "Front Page News" either. It was just an article buried on Page Five of the second section of the paper, but it was relevant because of (1) the Anthrax scare, (2) the fact that the kid was being indicted under Federal statutes and was in the custody of the FBI, and (3) because I happened to know him, and thought the whole thing sounded fishy.

I'm not saying that what's interesting news to me should be interesting to everyone. I'm saying that "Breaking News" should be left for articles that fit that category.

In that case the articles MUST be of interest to the great majority of FR readers. Some punk trashing a dorm room and ripping a "Confederate flag" just don't measure up.
