- giraffe_lady 4y agomost propaganda ass title re: role of police as well
- dang 4y agoMaybe so, but could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful. (We've changed the title to be more neutral now btw)
- giraffe_lady 4y agoIt was substantial enough for you to take action related to it in the title but not substantial enough for me to post?
- dang 4y agoI changed the title because it was linkbait, in keeping with the site guidelines. I'm asking you to stop posting flamebait, in keeping with the site guidelines. I don't think this is hard to understand, if you've read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html?

- dang 4y agoThank you!
- capableweb 4y agoThe article is about the value the birds provide, and that they are getting used less and less, not that they are 100% obsolete and never used. Seems like at least in 1999 they served a vital function that probably helped save bunch of people. > the police pigeons of Odisha also proved to be the only dependable method of communication during devastating floods in 1982 and a 1999 super-cyclone that caused widespread destruction in the coastal state. Indeed, the handlers say pigeon post helped save many lives.
