Establishing a DU etiquette on reporting on live media events and quotes

Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 01:22 PM by expatriot

There were at least 3 threads dedicated to Nancy Pelosi's comments RE: Bush. I nearly posted what I thought would have been the first but would have ended up being either the second or third and then there would have been at least 4. I think perhaps people should wait a few minutes to see if someone posts a thread on the subject first and then just use that thread. I don't know, what do you think?

ON EDIT: UPDATE:

3. Live Media Event forum w/ rule that the first post should be the only one

to be responded to and that the mods or the original poster will start a Part 2 thread when the first gets too big.

edit: I don't know. It might work, but the current system seems to work OK. :shrug:

6. Sorry I took the time to transcribe for everyone before checking

again to see if someone had started.

You're right. I just won't transcribe anymore for those folks who cannot see the press conference.

They don't see the original threads.
