Value Voters Summit 2007

Post 66102 by homunculus deleted for the following reason: if this is not a "let's laugh at the wackiy fundies" post please include something other than a huffpo link and some LOLYUTUBES otherwise it's just the same stuff by the same people over and over again. Seriously, there is a decent way to talk about the Value Voters Summit and this is not it. -- jessamyn

Mild / Moderate earthquake near SF

Post 66064 by TeatimeGrommit deleted for the following reason: Once again, a small/moderate quake in CA that didn't cause any particular ruckus isn't FPP material. If something big happens, post about it then. -- cortex

Post 66059 by sushiwiththejury deleted for the following reason: It sounds like this wasn't really that big of a deal. In related news, rainstorms in Portland and a stiff wind in Chicago. -- cortex

Maddox strikes again...

Post 65996 by c:\awesome deleted for the following reason: That maddox iPhone post a while back was the exeception that proves the rule, which, to be clear, is pretty much "okay we are aware that maddox has a website please stop posting every damn thing he writes". -- cortex

Skype on your cell phone - finally

Post 65978 by SharQ deleted for the following reason: This is basically a press release, one that doesn't make sense as written to non-UK (read: most) readers; and you work for the gadget site you linked to. Thiis is not a good way to make a post. -- cortex

X-COM!

Post 65911 by Steven C. Den Beste deleted for the following reason: Understand that I love X-Com with a burning, unending passion, more deeply than most people love their pets and/or children: we've had links to Home of the Underdogs many times (here's an older canonical example) and, your "now available" notwithstanding, there doesn't seem to be anything new here. I'd love to see a great X-Com post, but this isn't the way to do it. -- cortex

Poor Microsoft - only 4.3 billion and profit this quarter!

Post 65907 by LarryGDVD deleted for the following reason: A couple of news blips and a link to Microsoft's homepage? What's the interesting thing worth posting here? It feels like a generic MS conversation starter. -- cortex

Only YOU can prevent forest fires

Post 65891 by sluglicker deleted for the following reason: this is a hand-waving OMGFilter post about something that has affected a lot of people in pretty bad ways, its a little early to bring out the conspiracy angles and this particular post is light on facts and heavy on the verbage. It might be better on your own blog or a group blog that appreciates a good raised eyebrow approach to current events. -- jessamyn

Whither Apple?

Post 65828 by Chrysostom deleted for the following reason: um, two of your links are the same, otherwise it's a post to kottke's blog post and a stock price why? it's not that this is a bad topic, just an odd way of phrasing it along with some tepid links. -- jessamyn

Mama Warbucks

Post 65826 by saulgoodman deleted for the following reason: this is an axegrindy HC post. I know it's election time and all, but it's too early for "your favorite candidate sucks" posts and if you have issues with the way other political posts have been handled, it would be better to take those to Metatalk or your own blog. -- jessamyn
