Yes, KKKarl is smirking contentedly today.

1. It's funny because I have them all hidden so GD seems really small

GD fits on my screen entirely without having to scroll down to see all titles - an interesting day to say the least.

[Doctor_J]

2. Is there a quicker way to hide threads?

I have to first go into the thread, then page down to where the "Hide" button becomes visible, then press Hide, which takes me off the board to a notification page. Then I have to back to "Lobby", to GD, to the next thread I want to hide, etc.

10. Yes there is a faster way.

Click on the little "x" with a box around it just to the right of the thread title. That will hide the thread

[Beam Me Up]

16. I've been doing that but it still takes a long time. The page

jumps to another page then you have to go back and BY THAT TIME THERE ARE THREE MORE "POPE" THREADS!!!!

[Mr_Spock]

18. I gave up

3. I Claim Authorship Of One Thread Each. Fair And Balanced!

4. God is in the TV

Just sit down and be infotained already.

5. So you're counting?

6. I emailed cnn about covering the late Pope and ignoring Abu Ghraib.

I tried to help them. I sent them the url for the yahoo story and everything. Does that count?

:eyes:

[POAS]

7. But a whole lot fewer Schiavo threads

[Mr_Spock]

8. Must be all GD - what's the problem?

More Pope!

[TwilightZone]

9. Well, let's see. The religious leader of roughly a billion people

(who he led for 20+ years) died vs. roughly 20 US soldiers injured at Abu Ghraib.

Frankly, I think the Pope dying is a much more significant event, and I'm about as non-religious as it gets.

Don't worry - the Abu Ghraib attack will get plenty of press in the next couple of days.

[DistressedAmerican]

12. I Agree In Principle. The Pope Is A Larger Story.

However, Abu Ghraib will disappear. BURIED, BURIED, BURIED under 6 days of pope funeral masses.

11. My reply is so important

So so important that I'm going to start another thread so you won't miss it.

13. Yes, KKKarl is smirking contentedly today.

That says it all.

I repeat my call to all members with reagd to what I call "topic du jour" posts:

BE SELF-POLICING

This means rather than starting the one billionth new thread, join one that already exists. Don't see one immediately? Use the search feature.

Can't use the search feature because you have not made a donation? hmmmmmmmmm....

[MisterP]

14. so, we should "watch what we say?"

[Mr_Spock]

15. No, it's national Pope day

I think we'll survive!

[Kazak]

17. We had our cable turned off just in time...

Really, the bulk of the latest media blitzes (Schiavo, the Pope) I've been exposed to has been right here on the DU!
