> What is a good source of information? Pamphlets. Road signs. Safety labels. As a general criteria, I would add "promotes action". What good is information if it doesn't bring any change?

Nice and friendly comments always rise to the top about FB because Zuck pays for PR. Why wouldn’t he game HN too.
