Quote:False. I don't bank anything on implication. If you take it that way, that's fine, and I understand why you would. All it was was an entertaining way for me to draw people in. Nothing else.

 

I hear you. And I get that you see it that way.  And - it's just a message board - so I only took offense to the "art of headlining" comment.  

 

I'm sure I'm plenty older than you - and I remember journalism before the internet very, very well.   Such practices were reserved only for the cheapest grocery line tabloids at one time. Now they pervade all but the staunchest of periodicals.  Call me old-fashioned - but I preferred a time before the internet ruined journalistic integrity.  

 

Sorry for the rant.  I just prefer not to be baited and disappointed - and I would never call tricking someone (however harmlessly) "art."
