Can you possibly be a little more clear in the subject line?

****.

I remember about a decade ago when Michelle Pfeiffer died, but not that Michelle Pfeiffer and we had one hell of a fight over it on the board.

****.

Who's the more famous John Slattery?

The four-time Emmy nominee on one of the most critically acclaimed TV shows of all-time?

Sounds like this guy had a great career, but I've never heard of him.

Please, update the subject line. Otherwise, you're just being a jerk.

My John Slattery won four Emmy Awards.

I Googled John Slattery. He was the principal in "Ed." I knew that name sounded familiar.

Second. Least. Surprising. Post. Ever.

Why's that?

You could have given me unlimited guesses, and I would not have been able to tell you who **** was thinking off when he saw the thread title.

I googled it. I recognize the actor, but could not have told you his name.

I'm also guessing more people watch WCBS' John Slattery in a given week then watch Mad Men.

Undoubtedly.

Slattery joined WABC in 1979, and joined WCBS five years years later.

In 35 years of daily reporting, in the biggest market in the country, I'd bet more people watched him than caught the tour de force performance in Iron Man 2.

There is no way that the vast, vast majority people on this board thought of your John Slattery when they saw the subject line. None. I'd like to hear from one person who did.

Me too.

Apparently, in YF's world, only folk with ties to the New York area matter. To be fair, he has plenty of company in that regard.

So you know there's confusion. How hard is it to change the headline to 'RIP WCBS Reporter John Slattery'?
