FR is and has been way ahead of the so called "Web 2.0" blog site in a few regards. We have self search. We can search and review the posting history of posters. We have a history and traditions.

I may wish that the purges were less, or even wish that so many good posters hadn't moved up to more aethereal realms. But we seem to be getting new members and are replenished with youth.

And I disagree that the WAPO LAT settlement is good law, and hope it will someday be stricken down -- for we should be able to extract under fair use. What a burden to apt discussion it is to not be able to quote the pertinent parts of articles or even to post links!

FR will never win a fair use case to post complete articles.
