the 'NEWS' is more intended for resumes and links of/to articles in newspapers (related to ff), in many cases the original article could be
the Buzz is more about general ff-news of some more (or less) importance for more than one specific airline/hotel-ff-program etc.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon nor a resident scholar to decipher the purpose of each forum. Many folks simply don't take time to read the forum descriptions before posting.
No offense to the newcomers, but I think a gentle reminder to post in the appropriate forum is not out of line.

someone need to bring back the "peanut" explanation. It was excellent. It was done befor the "Spam" categories was added. Spam, I beleive is where you buy a bag of peanuts, eat them, then you get others to buy bags of peanuts and you get to eat more.

MRLIMO-
As one "Mister" to another "Mister", I believe* at McDonalds in the beginning (of the day) you can purchase an EGG-based cholesterol thingee. You cannot purchase a CHICKEN-based thingee until much later in time. Good enough answer for me.
I believe this should nicely answer the eternal question you refered to.
* I have not actually done this in person

I didn't make this up, I think it was Garrison Keiler.
A chicken and an egg are together in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette and has a big smile. The egg is frowning and is not happy.
The egg say, "Well, I guess we answered that question".
