i would have never known about it had it not been posted here when it originally happened. i'm not about to make a note to myself everytime i hear of an accident to google it every few days looking for the results. i'm not THAT dedicated to it. majid is dedicated to it, morbid and creepy though it may be, and it serves a purpose for people like me who retain an interest but not the drive to follow-up every few days.
your argument is twofold:
there is no analysis, and this serves no purpose on the forum.
posting this article served a purpose to me (and it sounds like a few others) hence, one of your arguments is faulty.
there is an analysis of what occurred, it is in the newspaper article. hence, your second argument is faulty.
i think your bitterness here stems more from majid's past behavior and his generally irritating tone. that's understandable, but don't let it override your rationality.
even news articles pre-analysis, just articles mentioning a fall, have been helpful in the past when people who were involved, who never had posted on rc.com and were likely never TO post on rc.com, have responded with details which led to analysis.
it's OK to admit you were wrong about this one, but to say that majid really needs to keep it in control. like he did here.
