Hey, I toned it down. Jamie's headline was "Wherein the Empire Expands"... Jamie has always been a good read over the years and I am amazed as well that he has stuck through all of the regulatory hurdles put in his way.
- tptacek 16y agoZawinski isn't trying to convince everyone that something important is happening. That's just how he writes (i.e., "well"). But when you write your own headline, you are actually making a statement about the importance of the event. Two options: (1) Just keep his headline, in which case anyone who clicks through can see it's headlined that way because that's how the original source headlined it. (2) Write the headline in the simplest way possible. It's not a big deal or anything. But you commented, and that's my response. Thanks for posting the story!
