    Back 14 hours later, I'm still trying to figure out why news alerts, whatever the subject matter, are a problem.

    After failing in Game Three for the Yankees two years in a row, getting Randy Johnson out of New York is an Urgent matter.

    That's why, SF.

    I understand your point. I'm just not about to agree with it. If the URGENT tag is misused, it loses its meaning.

    SF, i assume one problem people have with it is the boy who cried wolf problem. it devalues the really important stuff when the lesser stuff gets news alert treatment.

    And Wolf would be cried if the Mets signed Randy Wolf.

    Ding ding. Like co-workers who overuse the red envelope, high priority e-mail function, it loses its value.
