You mean evaluate people based on who they are versus what they say? No thanks.

I interpreted the title to mean Google Groups was going away. I was not aware that there was a separate "data" concept.

That sounds like your lack of familarity with the software and not the author's showmanship.

If the title read: "Google Groups Shutting Down!" and they meant shutting down the pages and files part, then sure I'd see your argument. But literally all data in Google Groups will be destroyed. I actually thought the tittle meant his data was destroyed on his Google Group, much less all of them were being wiped. I think it is pretty big news.

I don't know. I usually find that knowing who people are often provides some context to what they are saying.

TFA has "data" in the title. You weren't aware of what it meant and jumped to a conclusion. I don't see how it follows that the author is being sensationalistic.
