naharnet, do us all a favor and monitor the quality of the stories you are printing. Cedarjet and 'First time reader' are correct in pointing out that you are inconsistent with posting stories with unrelated photographs. I also encourage the editor-in-chief to pay close attention to the tagging of some normal stories with sensational titles.
