I honestly cannot believe the number of postings to 42 different groups that
state nothing more than "I just heard on the radio that Coca-Cola is going
to start making the old stuff again.".

Geez, we all listen to the radio, or watch TV, or read the paper!  What
an incredible waste of resources to re-inform everyone of this!

But just for those posters, Hey, Guess What?

Lincoln's been shot!
The Germans have surrendered!
And did you hear, they're talking about sending a man to the moon!


Lay off the current events postings, OK?  This isn't the AP News Wire.

P.S. To the great majority of net users who post responsibly:
Keep the good articles coming.  It is still worth wading through all the crap.
Usually.
