It's always seemed a little strange to me that any organization in the news business wants to cut down on the number of their readers.

Question:

Is it correct, that when we see an article which may be in another newspaper, which is not on the above list, but it's a copy of say a Washington Post article, we need to excerpt that too -- basically anything which references any of the companies listed above?

E.g. Charles Krauthammer articles appear in townhall.com, but it mentions it's from the WP, then we need to excerpt it, right, because it shows at the bottom of the article, that it's copywrited by the WP.

You ought to put a link to this article on the top of your profile page, AM.

That would make it easy for you and us to guide those not familiar with the list to it.

This is only minor battle in the WAR for the United States of America!

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

How about putting DEBKA on the list just to see who is paying attention?

And these are all affiliates of LAT/WP?

Now, THAT's scary!

Isn't it safer just to excerpt all articles?

Outstanding - bump...

Question:
-- If the threads original posting complies with the short excerpt rule, are we breaking the agreement by posting more of the article in the reply portions of the thread?

Could multiple posters quote excerpts to different parts which would, - in effect, have the whole article on the thread?

Wow!

These people own a lot, don't they?

By "excerpt" from a broadcast source, are you referring to an article posted on a broadcast website?

You're not saying a "news alert" from off the air is forbidden, are you? (Incidentally, once it's 'on air' isn't it 'the people's' airwaves?)

EG: If they broadcast, "Breaking News, John Kerry Found with Head up Keester" then we can post to breaking news "John F (n) Kerry Found with....etc?

A question and a comment:

Am I correct when I assume that at least some of the "excerpt only" sites are automatically flagged by our servers and others are not?

A reminder to forum members that these "short excerpts" may be composed of any part of the article content. Many forum members simply excerpt the first paragraph or two, losing much of the meaning of the article when they could instead selectively excerpt passages that contain the essential information.

Thanks for the reminder and the "updated" database.

Shouldn't you add the Independent to the newspaper list?

Reference For Exceprting Articles ???

Too bad there isn't some sort of a spell-checker. . . :^)
