Excerpts are on thing, I understand the rules about them. I'm talking about constant {snips} which I don't think are for the same reason.

There is an automatic three hundred word limit that you can post from a source that must be excerpted.

If you excerpt an article you're not supposed to post more of it in comments.

I do the [snip] thing in excerpted articles so that the pertinent parts of the article can be discussed, while bypassing a lot of blah, blah blah.

If you don't post the interesting parts of the article other people might do it so that they can comment on it.

If they comment on sections of the article that are not posted it doesn't make sense to someone just reading the post and not going to the source to read the full article.

[snips] are our friends.
