To have just made myself laugh...

[OurBlanche]

Two things really:

1. About my own slowness of thought. I have only just seen it and I assume it has been blindingly obvious to many others!

1. About our collective hypocrisy about the DM picking up posts and using them as stories.... yet so many DM stories get turned into threads.

I was reading the 'expose a benefit cheat' thread and suddenly it struck me... What a nerve! The OP was too bloody lazy to think up her own thread topic so she simply stole one off the DM

No...it's not comparible.

No it's not a mirror image comparison.

No? I am NOT being unreasonable to have found it amusing?

I am finding hard to read through what I suspect are double negatives

I have an mage in my head of an overworked journalist sat at their desk moaning "Damned Mumsnetters, stealing my storyline and making a much more amusing thread out of it!"

But MNers aren't making money out of threads...
