Well then, I don't understand why you don't know why we're using excerpts. You must obviously not been paying attention to that part of FR. I can't explain all that has happened, and all that you have missed in one post. But keep in touch, buddy, and I'll explain what has happened best I can.
The upshot is that the major newspapers didn't like us reprinting entire articles, threatened to sue, and so on. So we excerpt. That's the short story, my friend.
