If you spot a thread you're following has picked up by the press...

[erinaceus]

...should you

a) tell the OP on the thread
b) PM the OP and let them know
c) do nothing
d) something else?

I know you've all gone off to search whether that thread you are following has been picked up by the press now.

Most times someone will post a link on the thread which is the sensible thing to do to give a heads up to the OP and anyone who might not want their posts in MSM

Yes -- I've seen that. I was trying to work out whether that makes the problem worse by driving traffic to the link.

I may be overthinking this.

I’d post a link on the thread.
