It’s basic HTML.

Here’s the rub. If you do not use any HTML tags, the FR posting software puts them in for you. But if it detects as much as a single tag, then you must manually code the whole post.

I am purposely going to avoid any use of tags in this post, and the links which I’m going to give you (which show you basic HTML) will appear “hot” (clickable) without me doing anything.

Now, if I had used any HTML code, such as quoting you in italics, or emphasized with bold face, then I would have had to code those links with HTML. This is why you will sometimes see FReepers use *emphasis* marks to highlight a ~portion~ of their text. They don’t want to go to the trouble of coding the whole post, so they use a device like *, ~, #, + instead.

>>>”And which article do you want posted in full? Pick one of the “favorites” from the other thread and I will do so.”<<< - that’s an example of how someone might denote a quote without tags. - and the answer to that question is simple -

~ALL~ of them, ~All~ the time. (You will note that when posted in full, as you did earlier today, the tone of the responses you got from myself and ‘Gunner was quite different.)

Will plop the biblical refutation of secular welfare up today. Will start there since it has the gospel in it and that must come first.

Now just wait until some other diehards try to run me off the page for posting the same article twice or some other infraction.

And you must understand, the week a new article is posted on Forbes it will be an excerpt and link. Otherwise, you are asking me to compete against my publisher which I’m not going to do. If people don’t like it - don’t click.

But an article will be posted in full momentarily.
