We here at DU are typical Americans.... As subject to headlines vs.
content as the typical Repug drone.

See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5705488&mesg_id=5705488 vs. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5704948 .

One is a serious topic that brings up serious discussion with little response while the other is "headlines" and does not mean squat.

Something to think about.

2. I guess "Flash" topics draw more response than "Real" topics...
Not all the time but quite often.

If someone uses a header that goes for an emotional response, it will garner more responses than a header that does not.
