Journal Journal: my first ever /. "friend"

I just made my first-ever /. friend, "iabervon", who crafted this beauty of a comment:

There was some news story where the mainstream sources mostly had the wording of some critical quotation wrong in various ways (which is actually generally true of mainstream news quotations, since they come from reporters quickly writing something down when it's said, not recordings; they usually get the right meaning, but rarely the right words). Surprisingly, Wikinews almost alone had the quotation exactly right (i.e., perfectly matching the available audio recording of the event). But the weather map that day was a picture of some guy's butt, a mistake that none of the other media sources made.

That made me spew beer for maybe the third time in my life. Kudos, iabervon!
