It's not exactly a tragedy since virtually every news article at the Fox News site can be found elsewhere. I'm just curious, that's all. :)
ping
Fox News shows as being ‘excerpt and link’. Was the pulled post full text?
You have to excerpt it, 300 words or less, just like many other media outlets.
Short article, op did not excerpt, FR software balked, thread pulled, game over.
EveningStar discovers posting Fox News articles to Free Republic is verboten!
;o)
I don’t remember if it was excerpted or not. Usually the moderator will except the article rather than pull it.
Thanks. :)
I found another article elsewhere on the same story anyway. :)
It looks like I didn’t discover anything. I think I need more coffee. Or maybe something stronger. :)
When did you stop worrying about the Y2K bug? Probably around that same time.
Actually, it never happened. :)
Lol. I know the feeling.
If you posted the whole article and clicked that it was an excerpt, the soft ware has no way of knowing that it's the whole thing. I see it frequently. There's no way that a poster can not know that it's an entire article and then say it's an excerpt to bypass the posting soft ware.
I'm not saying you did that but some do.
The admin mod already answered the question. Thanks, anyway. :)
It looks like I guessed correctly.
Can I pick a prize? I’d like two free hits on the abuse button to use without recrimination. Having to sign all the abuse reports has really cut down on my complaints.
You can have my booby prize. :)
It is also no secret that Rush Limbaugh remarks on many FR articles IN ORDER without giving the FR site any credit . It is amazing how everytime he reaches into HIS stack of stuff , the STUFF is articles that are posted on Free Republic within the hour .
On the other hand, I’ve ordered some nice winter socks because the cold weather will be setting in soon.
