I've been noticing a lot of exasperation among FT regulars and you remarked that "threads that are killing me right now." Maybe you and the others who are experiencing the high level of frustration need to take a break from FT or just avoid those threads. Hey, you can often see from the title
that it's going to boil your blood, so just say "no."
We all know that this is the time of year when more newbies tend to join and post in FT and that newbies tend to post what are old stories to us, because it's new to them.
Back to the investigation, I find it discussion-worthy purely for the PR-handling aspects. There was a recent article where AA mentioned that it avoids some of the bad PR like UA's guitar guy, because AA monitors and deals with Internet blog posts before they've reached the infamy of UA's broken guitar.
