Is it just me or do others find the choice of the "how to be a bridge expert" a strange choice to include in BBO lobby news?
The thread is entirely satire including an edited, personal attack, (which was very funny only if know the background and forum characters).
If we are hoping to attract more, expert contributors, I doubt that this is the thread to do it. But it will create more
work for the mods.

It seems like a fine choice to me. I don't think the purpose was to get more people to post on the forums, but rather simply to share something with the broader community. It's funny, which people like, as well as being a relevant critique of an undesirable behavior present in the community.

I put it there because:

1. It's fun and some of it is true
2. It points to some good advice in the Forums.
