Your newsreader must be infinitely better than mine. Would you be kind

I hate HOH as much as much as anyone, but at least its sig does

The sig didn't include the context or the date of the original post.

I don't see why I should click on a link to find out, assuming it would
be there in the first place.

Maybe, but the sig doesn't directly contain the date of the OP's post
any more than mine.

More fool you given that it said where the context was.

No assumption involved, it said that explicitly.

But the posters from that site don't seem to see that the articles are
