Do they routinely take content off the web without telling people about it?

Hell if I know.

Point is.. blogs are crap.

Did you post it (whatever you lost) in full here at FR?

If so, it wouldn't be lost.

Consider that.

Blogs are all some of us can afford. And God knows that the “legitimate” news sources weren’t going to post anything irrelevant like the legal requests and responses which show that Obama’s HI BC is non-valid.... That’s just way too piddly for the “legitimate” news reporters to even touch.

I always do post here as much from my blog as I am able to post, but I can’t post PDF’s which is the only way I know to get decent formatting for my in-depth content.

Sometimes posting here as opposed to my blog is problematic, though, as I found out this past week. I posted content from my blog here so that people would not have to go to my blog. I put the word “REDACTED” between the arrow signs to show info that I redacted, and the HTML here took out the arrow signs and everything between them. So the content here didn’t show the redactions. Somebody copied what was here and sent it to Al Hendershot who published it but without any of the context that would have been present if somebody had gotten it directly from my blog. As a result Hendershot posted it as if it was unsubstantiated (and undocumented) rumor, and even a dear friend with whom I have worked - Mark Gillar - publicly said it was bunk, because it was unsubstantiated. This is why sourcing materials is so important. It provides context. And that is why just posting here is NOT always the best thing to do - as I found out the hard way.
