Has there been any new news or is this merely a rehash of the original news?

Kickstart wondered in the thread itself why it hadn't been deleted. Might have been a good idea for him to flag it a couple times and email Matt or Jess, of course—but there was frothing! Glorious frothing!

I removed it. No one had really flagged it, maybe one or two people did which is low for double posts. When I checked it originally I hadn't seen anyone linking to the original post so I wasn't sure what they were talking abotu. With newsy threads that don't really link to the exact same stories, it's sometimes hard to figure out if we're looking at a double, an updatefilterpost, or what. In any case, it's removed, but someone could have just emailed mathowie or me, unless there's something you'd like to talk about?

Should we talk about the weather? The government?

Redundant. The government controls the weather.
