Newsfilter's Greatest Hits August 23, 2002 7:28 AM Subscribe
So in case you missed the posts linking to well-known news stories in well-known media outlets, there's now a post that collects them all for you. Nothing new here, just collected for your browsing pleasure. Call it MetaNewsFilter. Jeepers.
I prefer to think of it as a greatest hits collection.

Generally, limiting a post to one topic is best. If you can't restrain yourself, try a cap of 25 or so.

It's too bad about the link-incontinence. The first one could have made for an interesting thread if left to its own devices.

Wait till later. I was making a joke -- you know, about newbies asking dumb questions and stuff. Being facetious. After all, I'm not exactly an old salt around here either.
Sorry to get your hackles up.

Congratulation, saintsguy, on being the very last person to ever use that "welcome our new overlords" phrase here on MetaFilter. I hope.

As I do not like banning any news source (NYT, Yahoo, etc.), I am against posts with just a simple "troll bait" link.
