So demand that the moderator(s) pull the article. Or perhaps find a better use of your time.

Sadly, the BBC dropped off my daily reading list sometime during the Gulf War reporting debacle. Stellar journalism, that. I stick mostly to tech sites, the WSJ, and Strategypage.

I would rather read the "original" article than some reworking of it on a site that most BM's have never even heard of.

Edit: The BBC also had a photo.

Thats a bit rude isn't it? FT only commented that the same article had also been reported on the BBC.

Trawling tech sites all day, looking for little snippets of useless information you believe we should all read, strikes me as someone else needing to "find better use of his time"

Rant over.

Meow!

At least I do not (ab)use participles, now do I? Nor, end sentences with prepositions.

If one does not like me, nor my posts, one can merely not read them. A method I employ with a small number of BMs. But you will not (generally, I have lapsed...) see me posting negatives. Left that back on the playground many decades past.
