We're talking here about the headline (topic) of the thread, not the newspaper article.

That was written by docetboy.

Docetboy titled his thread after the article title, and possibly the first sentence of the piece.

"Gen. Shelton shocks Celebrity Forum, says he won't support Clark for president."

The thread title fits the article.

"General Shelton, 9-11 Joint Chiefs Chairman, will NOT support Clark"

...is the direct coopy/paste from the title of the thread.

Here's all I'm saying:

The capitalization of the word NOT and the bold type on the second and final paragraphs seem to me to show a hidden agenda in favor of President Bush.

It's fine to be in favor of the President, but why not say so in the topic line of the thread.

I'm done.

LOL... OK, I still don't see the problem. I'm done too.

I capitalized NOT in the thread title to make it clear that was the point of the thread.

I bold-printed certain paragraphs in the article because I know from experience some people (like myself) just skim parts of the article, and I wanted to make sure that the points of the article I wanted discussed were ones people would see.
