I could be way off base. But if the ba in journalism has done one thing for me... it's to play your words to the lowest level of comprehension.

And if people don't care to read full articles to find out what the story is about, well that's their loss. And I'll be damned if I'm going to cater to the lazy folk who want to judge a thread by its title.
