I had not read this story and thus found it interesting and newsworthy. It is not as though it harms anyone to see it reposted as a general discussion topic at DU. Not to mention the fact that almost EVERY major story posted here gets reposted at least once if not twenty times. Who cares? I sure don't.

As for accusing people of simply trying to rack up more post counts by linking to news that is past your due date, I don't even know what to say. I guess we should all run our future posts past you before we dare try to run up our post counts again like the stupid trolls we all are.

Sometimes DU sucks.
