This excessive excerpting is ridiculous. I never read the links, so I guess I just miss out.
I say let the blog get the hits from our clicks -- they went to the trouble to research and write this. Plus, I think it is copyrighted automatically with the Creative Commons license.
I just don't understand some people's problem with excerpted or linked articles. if you want to "one stop shop" anyplace, FR included, you're going to miss out.
what's the big deal? open on the friggin' link in a new broswer window. or if not, use the "back" botton to return to FR. it's just not that hard.
