Isn't this basically subjective? I mean, are there more items because by
some objective measure more newsworthy things happen, or are there more
items because you chose to spotlight more?

I'm NOT trying to start a fight, merely pointing out that I don't think
there IS an objective measure of how newsworthy something is, short of
taking an opinion poll. It's really just a matter of your judgement.

Now, I think you're doing great, although I may not always agree with
what you find newsworthy. What I find most newsworthy at the moment is
the ongoing eBay discussion thread around siphoning/anti scalping, which
I don't believe you saw fit to highlight. But you're the editor and it
is your judgement of what to include and what not to.

However, things DO seem to pick up once outside activities taper off.
