Subject: why you should write a Hi-Res story

Qobuz, the Hi-Res streaming service from France, launched in the US this 
February to meet the need of the appr. 32 million-person audience for high 
quality audio in the US (MusicWatch), amidst a climate where 3/4 of music 
industry revenue comes from streaming (RIAA).

My medium-snarky reply:

I don't know which I find more annoying: that you didn't include "audio" in the 
subject, to help me decide whether to read the message, or the use of the word 
"should," which is not how the press works.

And, having sent that, "February" -- this ain't still "news."
