12. I hope you don't think anyone is expecting you to keep monitoring the story and title

throughout the whole day (edit: or for any amount of time). The title is something I noticed and was just letting you know and that I thought it was an important change.

By the way, my thanks expressed elsewhere,

"thanks much for keeping us posted on the financial and economic news"

was meant very sincerely. I'm glad that you and BumRushDaShow and others post these economic news OPs in LBN and elsewhere so I don't have to ... I only rarely post OPs because of some of the comments and the amount of research I have to do to deal with them sometimes.

(Speaking of the other weekly jobless claims story in LBN that was posted an hour and a half after yours) I alert on dupes in LBN not as a favor to anybody or because I think dupes are a crime against humanity, but because I think the no-dupe rule in LBN is a good rule and so I do alerts. So that LBN is not clogged up with a number of versions of the same story for several stories; I don't want to have to wade through all that when I'm just trying to get updated on what's been going on lately, and I think most others feel the same way.

I've posted dupes in LBN in the past, it happens to almost everyone who posts in LBN more than a few times. I've gotten over it too when someone posted an LBN dupe of one of my LBN OP's.
