thanking the livebloggers, for all the work they have done to keep us informed, while educating us on the ins & outs of various issues ---much of which we would never know otherwise.
All that I said still holds true for 99% of those that post on these diaries. However, in the last day or two, it seems as though something has changed; and there is more unrelated, non-factual stuff appearing in the threads---stuff that adds no value to the issue at hand.
I think most of us come to these liveblogs to catch up on the news at hand; or to learn the meaning or accurracy, of something we just heard mentioned by some idiot on TV.
Sadly, that isn't now always the case.
So, for me---and, I mean, just for me; it isn't worth sifting through some foolish commentary about material that isn't really important to the discussion at hand. When I see that stuff---I want to stifle it---but then it becomes a thread hijack; and I'm not going to do that.
Thus the best thing to do is to bow out.....
I wish to reiterate: 99% of the material posted is important & relevant---but that that isn't, takes away, IMO.
Peace!!!
