I declare war on...dill pickles. Now come buy my sweet pickles. yawn Also, a nit: it is sad to see a journalist refer to the "lead" of his/her story.

- geuis 14y agoI don't like the article overall, but don't have a problem with the internal reference. Way too often, titles are written to be provacative and the content of the story is much more mundane, or doesn't even support it. I don't mind an instance where an author elaborates on their lead in an attempt to explain it.
- m0nastic 14y agoI believe SoftwareMaven was referring to the literal "lead" spelling that the writer used (as the majority of actual journalists use the "lede" spelling), not to the reference.
