You are one of the better posters on DU, but I already spend too much time on DU (my problem, not yours).

So many times intriguing headlines are posted and then when you spend time reading them they don't have the info. You trust the DU member so you read the article again but nope, not there.

It is also the case that many times people mindlessly post the first four paragraphs of an article. Typically they are filled with background facts already known. The thing to do is post four paragraphs from the interior that illustrate the point the OP headline makes.

Thoughtful posters use easy to do things that help DU readers and save their time. You can be a poster mindful of the readers.
