- Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
- Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
- Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
- No link shorteners
- No entire article in the post body

Oh, that wasn’t a criticism of you. I just thought it was funny. Plus, the whole “exploding pen mic” sounds like a ridiculous conspiracy theory.
Yeah, not sure why the article calls it that, as it's a lapel mic. "Exploding pen mic" does make it sound nuttier.
