I suggested “A minor memorial for Leo Laporte’s presence on terrestrial AM radio” because that headline absolutely made me think he had passed away.
I’m glad they explain it in the first sentence of the article, but we might want to modify the headline a bit here since it’s stripped of that context on our front page.
I was not trying to beat you up, at all! Just observing that without the context provided by your first sentence, the title took me the wrong direction.
I love your work and enjoyed this piece. Thanks for writing it. (And thanks for keeping TenFourFox going as long as you managed to!)
I’ve changed the title of the post as Leo Laporte showed up on the orange site and felt it necessary to clarify. If the mods would like to do this here as well (or simply remove this), I’m feeling really terrible for the turmoil that’s resulted.

I’m kind of at a loss. I’m getting beat up for this on the orange site too, and I thought the title was obvious this was about his show!
I mean, everybody has their preferred wording, but I didn’t write this as clickbait.

I appreciate that!

I’ve suggested the new title (visit page, copy new title, hit
suggest, paste). If enough users here do that it should be changed automatically.I did it too! i think it’s changed now
Yes, it is. Thanks, everyone.
