To quote Frau Farbissma from Austin Powers, "there's all these little tiny bits of marshmallow just stuck right in the cereal so that when the kids eat them, they think, "Oh this is candy! I'm having fun!"

So come on and post,....what are you waiting for.....

I have ideas, just too lazy by markmcb :: NR7

If you voted for "I have ideas, just too lazy," some thoughts come to mind:

Submitting news doesn't take a lot of work. It can be as simple as:

"I read this article: http://www.somelink.com/ What do you think?"

With this, a moderator will read your submission and do one of two things: reject it, or accept it. Accepted does not equal "posted." Once accepted, you and the moderator can exchange thoughts and build the news post after a few back-and-forth submissions on the site. You need not aim for perfection with your first post.

...if you've already considered that and you still feel too lazy, well, keep on keepin' on man.

Just a reminder, you can always choose to submit news anonymously. The only drawback is that you can't get moderator feedback prior to your submission being posted. So if it has minor errors, we'll probably end up rejecting it.

An alternative would be to email a moderator, exchange ideas, and then post anonymously. We do our best to support the shy nerds of the world and not just the pompous ones like Will. :-)

The posters can't vote? by Brandon :: NR9

I'm curious. At least seven people have posted news, and all but one of them in the last couple of days. I only see two votes for the corresponding reason in the poll. Are you too good to vote once you start submitting news?
