Question
Posting Question | 10/24/01 | NY Catholic

I posted an article yesterday from the Washington Post titled 'The Crusaders' Giant Footprints After a Millennium, Their Mark Remains' and it disappeared without a trace? Is the Washington Post off limits? My posting expirience is limited...please help if you can. Thanks.

Yes, they are definitely off limits. They don't want their articles posted.

If you posted the complete article, that may be the reason it disappeared. As I understand it, you can reference the Washington Post (and LA Times) with limited direct copy quote but cannot reprint their articles completely.

Go back and read the fine print that appears when you post an article. Articles from the Washington Post or LA Times posted in their entirety are subject to deletion. Those two newspapers have sued FR and this is being done for protection.
