A lot of us use FR to convey information and discuss issues. We feel if something is worth saying, we'll find a thread talking about the topic and say something about it, or respond to another post.

If we feel we have something worth a thread of its own, we'll label the thread a vanity and have our say.

What we DON'T do is post 5 words, and then redirect eveyone AWAY from FR to go read some worthless blog. If we have something worth posting, we post it HERE and let others comment or criticize.

Some folks see FR as a place to flog their blogs, and nothing else.

Maybe that is why you get those keywords (and none of them were from me - if I have something to say, I say it).

And that's all I have to say on this...(excerpted. To read more, go to www.myworthlessblog.com)

Totally agree on the blog posts.

Plus we need to post enough of all news articles so that there is something to comment on without going to another website.

I hate it when someone posts even a NY Times article, but only posts the first paragraph, leaving out the meat of the article. Yes, I know most sources must be exerpted. But be smart about which 300 words you exerpt. There is no rule that people must exerpt the first words of an article.

.

And that's all I have to say on this...

Jerry: (to Kramer) I thought you stopped talking??

Kramer: ...All right ..Starting now......
