By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.

We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.

In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

    I second this. Trying to determine if I want to read the article and comments from a one line headline can be frustrating. If there is some content to pique my interest or make me meh, it would be beneficial.

    One line entries just will elude to sensationalist headlines.

        Good to hear. Regardless of what google or others think, there are still a ton of RSS users out there particularly in this crowd. Keep up the good work with the new site.

          I agree with your post. Bump for praise and better RSS.

    Came here to say this... RSS readers are many times faster and more user friendly on small-screen mobile devices, than visiting web pages in a mobile browser that is slow, has text wrapping, may not work quite right, etc., etc. But just getting the titles and nothing else is nearly useless.
