> ... eventually. Did I get you to read my post? Did I give you a heart attack? Does the title of the post overexagurate the actual message of the post? Yes, yes, and yes. Just like Yahoo does when it posts links to articles that say "Plane Crashes Into Tampa Skyscraper", which is true, but not nearly as big a deal as it sounds like from that. When most people read that they probably assume a WTC type situation, but it was really a one or two seat plane being flown by a 15 year old kid who stole it, and the only one killed or hurt by it was that 15 year old.

My first reaction when I saw that post was "Huh? Oh, probably some weird guy in a cult or something." Then I moved an instant message window, saw that the author was Wes, and thought "Ah. Should've guessed." Incidentally, did Yahoo scream that headline out at you, or was it down in a sidebar somewhere?
