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.

Not a 9/11 story but a Notre Dame story. by SanBarIRish
Years ago a young man from California flew to Notre Dame to begin his freshman year. Since it is an all-day trip, he arrived late in the afternoon of the day before registration.
When he tried to get into Alumni Hall, he found all the doors locked. It was nervous time. Walking around the building, he noticed there was a ramp in the back going down to a cellar He walked down the ramp and hallelujah. The door was unlocked.
As he was wondering around the hall, he ran into two RAs who asked what he was doing. When he told them his story, they welcomed him with open arms to ND.
They found him a room for the night and took him out for pizza. That was his first night on campus, which he has never forgotten. One of the RAs was Jimmy Dunne.
