You are doing a great job. It really is almost a miracle how freerepublic has endured through the years.

I think part of the reason is good moderation. The spirit of Jefferson mixed with the spirit of Burke.

When it comes to this issue who was the source for the vid. Some were arguing this one blog over the other. Finally some mod made a decision and put it down to some “blog”.

Though, of course, the source was no blog at all. It was Austrian TV... Probably recorded by the ORF.

What IS the proper policy when posting vidoes like this.....

We have people like Stadler, Farrage, Wilders, Palin....

Personally I choose to use their names in the “author” field.

Is that the right way to go about it?

Thanks for the excellent work done. And I really really mean it.

Fred.

How would I know? I'm an "utterly clueless" mod.

I think the "Author" field is where you attribute the individual. The "Source" field is generally the name of the website where you find it.

This is not FR policy, just a rule-of-thumb. The whole blogpimp thing has messed things up a bit.
