It could be they have a clipping service that checks for copyright violations. Or maybe just someone at the paper doing searches.Posted articles sometimes contain the author's email address,
and I assume they must sometimes receive emails from our forum participants.
While it hasn't happened often, I can recall instances where the author has registered and entered into the discussion of their article. (I vaguely remember this happening with one of the Pittsburgh papers, but can't recall whether it was the P-G or the Tribune-Review.)
Anyway, that is another avenue by which they become aware of our discussions.

That makes sense. It seems to me that FR is going to get moved to a position where posting excerpts is the only way we'll be able to deal with it.
I have no problem with that, although I do dislike excerpted stories where the originating site requires a subscription.
Still, I think that excerpting is finally going to have to become the standard here.

Probably Dennis Roddy...I know he's lurked here...I've had several exchanges with him. He once interviewed the 'Burgh chapter when we demonstrated x42 when he spoke here.
