MSNBC Alerts

I've been getting MSNBC "news" alerts through MSN Messenger. (And saying that, now feel a strong MSNeed to add MS before all my MSNAcronyms.) One of the things I've been enjoying is their continued blasting of the same headline all throughout the day. Here's my current list of recent alerts since logging in this morning:

msnbc.com Business: Stocks close down on credit woes
msnbc.com Business: Stocks down after strong retail reports
msnbc.com Business: Stocks struggle after strong retail reports
msnbc.com Business: Stocks seesaw after strong retail reports

I'd like to imagine some epic struggle between stockbrokers, but I fear the truth is that someone is pressing buttons a little too quickly and finding out the hard way that taking things back on the Internet is A Hard Thing™. It's not quite as obvious from these, but in past days, it hasn't been uncommon to see the same headlines five times.
