Return of the stupid question
Diabetes drug dangerous?
Medication doubles risk of heart problems, data analysis shows
For those who have forgotten, these are the rules:
1) Never use a question mark as a form of attribution.
2) Never put a question hed on a story that's about an assertion. This story isn't about a question. It's about a review study that says the relevant data from five clinical studies point to a particular set of dangers from this drug. If you don't have enough room to write a hed that accurately summarizes the story, go back to the design desk and shout until you do.
3) Come to think of it, never use question heds on news stories.
4) Period.
5) Any questions?

Will you please come here and teach a seminar on this?
Oh. Well, uh, sure. This _particular_ part of it would be kinda short, but I'm sure we could fill out the day with some other sort of ranting.
