I've gotten flamed for posting Schiavo threads where, by posting an article, I'm prsesumed to endorse the content and share the authors opinion.

I wish they would add a 'reply to posted article' button. Many times I've blasted the poster, simply because there isn't any easy way to direct the blast to the articles writer.

Hmmmmm...

Perhaps I am missing your point, but is it possible to single out the author of the original article, thereby referencing your "blast" to them?

I'm certain the most lame amongst us will understand to whom you are directing the "blast".

Try posting to this new screen name: "The Author of the Article"

I have used <tt> instead of <i> when quoting the article itself rather than the poster's reply #1. Just my own convention, but I hope it's fairly clear.
