Or they can just read it and then not post negative comments. I mean I can understand posting a reply to the story, or something related to the story. But the constant whining of "this doesn't interest me so don't put the story up" is a bunch of crap (sh*t, turd, whatever fits and isn't filtered).
Maybe MO should just do away with the feedback on news stories. It is such a waste. There is usually some good info posted as well, but filtering through the negative responses gets old.
I'm even giving up posting things like "yeah I read this elsewhere days ago" which I used to post. I've come to accept they may not have the story first. But I will post things like "You can get more detail, pictures etc, over at this site..." and put the URL in.
