FR rules, articles from blogspot.com have to be excerpted.
That must be a new development as it was never the case previously.
I note that blogspot (nor any free blog service) is listed on the excerpt / copyright page:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1111944/posts
I always thought Jim was quite clear on the subject of bloggers excerpting their own material:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2636843/posts?page=552#552
"I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits
and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join
in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR."
Perhaps I was mistaken.
