New York Post material must be excerpted in all circumstances. No exceptions. Including the word “snip” when nothing has been “snipped” is a no-no. Consider yourself warned.

No need to get snippy.

If you more carefully compare the actual article to the version I posted, you will notice I did, in fact, snip the phrase “later this year” in the exact place where I noted that I snipped something.

There is an automated feature that tests to see if a post falls below the maximum number of words allowable for an excerpted article. If that feature does not accurately measure whether an excerpted article is excerpted to your particular satisfaction, perhaps you should change the automated feature, or at least more clearly explain your apparently arbitrary standards for excerption.
