I reported this to BBR yesterday as the news was breaking via their on-site form. Guess I was too early! |

Ah, so this is about you, and not about spam? |

Yorba Linda, CA | News itself is quite beneficial.
Making it about yourself, not so much. |

I submit news items that don't pass muster all the time. If it's interesting they get to it when they can get to it and if someone submitted it before you they get the credit. |

1 edit | said by quatrix :In other words, spam? Oh no, not at all: just because it's interesting to you but not to the site's general readership (in the opinion of the editors) doesn't make it spam.
But public posting "But I submitted this first!" is in the same juvenile, attention-seeking category as "FIRST POST"

I think he made a good point, in a good venue; as long as it was limited to a brief mention.
Which it was, until you took up the mantle and made it a critique piece.

Article in NYT says different. He appealed not on basis of free speech but because anti-spam law in Virginia was flawed |
