"I don't seem to be able to use the 'Submit Story' feature at the moment... I just thought I'd flag a little saga currently unfolding near where I live. An open cut coal mine that supplies coal to a nearby 1600MW power station in Victoria, Australia, has been on fire for over a week. This could threaten electricity generation in the area and might have been deliberately set.
What might be more interesting is the lack of news media attention to it."
[Ed. Note] we're working on fixing article submission, thanks for getting this to us via alternate means.

I'd ask you to stick around a little longer, if you can. We're working to screen the best articles that have been submitted, and if there is news that YOU would like to see I'd ask that you collaborate with us in submitting it. Thanks for reading.

It's not that I want to see more news. I want to see less non-news.
If there's no news, I wanna see nothing. That's something that /. failed at a lot.

Please feel free to submit great articles that you want to see. We want this to be community driven, and you are part of the community. Right now I simply don't have time to go find awesome articles. I and the other editors need you to do that for us, to make this a place where nerds of all kinds want to come to in order to get some facts on what is relevant in their lives, and see what others think on those topics.

That said, this is news to me, as are large scale environmental issues in general. They affect all of us and cross well over into the science arena these days because global warming.

Fair enough. Gimme an amazing filter. Or at least an adequate one.

*sigh* You're one of those aren't you? You know who I mean, the guy who hates things if they dont appeal to him, for no other reason then to hate them.
If you dont like the news that is posted, either post your own, or don't read the article. In fact you can even pretend the news you aren't interested isn't even here. It would be just like if there was no news.
The rest of us on the other hand don't have a problem with this article.
