And a reminder to everyone that AP threads are shot on sight.
great way to intensify interest in your thread! A lot better than the usual BTT.
When you post something any old place on the forum, the mods are going to move it to the part of the forum where it belongs (with some annoyance), and it will seem to you that the post has been pulled when it’s only been moved.
fyi/tip : If the source is a Blog(or not a real news source) - which that one is - it should be posted in Bloggers&Personal forum. If you post to that Forum, it will probably show up here in the News forum for a brief time and then be moved over to Bloggers.
Hope that helps

The admins can answer your underlying question.
I will, however, point out that it's "Free Republic," NOT "Free Private Internet Site."
Just put “Open” at the end of it and you should be fine :).
For some reason I do not yet understand, Vanity Posts in the Religion forum are not only allowed but seemingly encouraged. All you need to do is put “Open” at the and and all is well.

TS.
How can you be here for nearly 4 years and not know how to post an article?
In fact, you don’t need to be here any length of time at all. If you open up the new thread form, it’s self explanatory. Look at the field headings.
If you still have any doubt as to how to post an article, look at the way others have posted articles.
