1. Do we always have to choose someone to reply to? if we are only replying to the article featured, do we hit the reply button to the poster of the article? are they going to end up with a bunch of messages? and do they like it that way?
2. I've always wanted to post articles but am quite confused as to which news sources are absolute no-no's to post from. Can someone give me some definate UNallowed (DISallowed? NONallowed? NOFREAKINWAYISTHISallowed) news sources....
3. Does this dress make me look fat?
1) No, you don't always have to choose someone to reply to. You can blank out the "to" field. If you are only replying to the article and not to the person who posted it, the system defaults to putting that person in the "to" field. People who post articles do end up with a lot of messages because of this. Some like it, some don't.
2) Only Jim Robinson and John Robinson have access to the list of 'blacklisted' sites. In general, they fall into a few categories: a) racist sites, b) leftist message boards like DU, et al, and c) other sites which someone tried to spam our forum with. For example on the latter, there was a new conservative webzine that started not too long ago. It would have been more than welcome here, but someone signed up with a mail address tracing back to that site, and proceeded to post article after article to sidebars, all just one line excerpts. After being warned by Jim, and the behavior continuing, Jim decided to blacklist the site. (I forget the site involved, but a few weeks later he removed it from the blacklist).
3) No, that dress is quite slimming on you.
