I really don't want to sound rude, and no disrespect to the author, but I am really getting sick of these frequent articles that only provide what is essentially a hook line as the substance of the "article". I feel like the majority of these articles say "a thing happened..." ...and that's it. No details, no motif, no explanation etc. Which would be fine ..if there's was ever any follow up. There never is any follow up to most of these stories. Anything from topics like this to a new business opening that never does, or one that closes, etc. and no explanation as to why. The lack of substantial detail is really getting annoying.
