    Lightbulb PSA for JPP: Betteridge's law of headlines

    Betteridge's law of headlines is one name for an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist,[1][2] although the principle is much older.
    I think this is really important for many users of JPP to understand and really internalize. Use this well. Same thing for most of your thread posts as well.
