This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I hired a Private Investigator for the first time today. by 3rdSt
It was pretty much exactly like any Noir movie you’ve ever seen. World-weary voice picked up on the first ring, I explained a rather complex observation and tracking request. It was Noon,, the site to be reconned was an hour drive from him, there was the very good potential that he’d be tailing a truck across state lines into San Diego or LA that evening, and he promised to meet my guy there by 2 pm for further info. He also set up his back-up man to relieve him
If the target didn’t move by 8 pm. Guaranteed hi-res pictures of all activity, including drone shots if needed. He’s on I-8 right now, headed west, following a milk truck.
Probably the coolest thing I’ve done in the last year.
