In that case, you better find another forum.

In the old days, reading before posting was considered against the rules.

While that rule may or may not have fallen out of disuse, there are now a significant number of people who post claiming to have read articles, but if one bothers to read the article one discovers that reading comprehension is in the garbage. I’d rather have someone honestly posting at the headline than accidentally posting misinformation after attempting to understand the article and failing.

While I do come here for news, I come first for the jokes and secondly for insightful commentary—together which, in a good thread, may make up a third of the posts.
