Jim,
I do not think going to all excepted articles will be a problem or major set back.

Most Freepers are up on the news and really the articles are just a starting point for the majority of discussion.

We can click to the link for the rest of the detail as needed. And certainly others will post details to ehance the discussion thread.

On a side note: Perhaps you should advise the complaining news orgainzations that when they pick up breaking FR reporting, they are to attribute FR as the source.

There are many instances when breaking news is directly lifted off FR by these news outlets. We do, after all, have the largest number of reporters in the field of any news organization.

Best Regards,
BJN

I wonder if the software could be set to check, say, every 100 or 200 responses, to see if the original article linked has been changed, and post that fact in the thread. If a topic doesn't generate that much interest, we probably wouldn't care much if the primary source changed anyway.

I have no idea what I'm asking, of course; I haven't really understood what computers do since my husband took DOS off my machine and put this Windows cr*d on it.
