To: everyone

I agree with Farah.

May I make a suggestion, particularly to people who post articles?

Could you please copy and paste rather than type the names of articles, websites, and authors? There are entirely unnecessary errors in each of these all over FR.

Joseph Farah, for example, does not spell his last name with two R’s.

Copying and pasting will ensure that your fellow Freepers can find what they want when they search, first, and increase the reputation of FR as a place that cares about accuracy and truth instead of being a sloppy repository of sloppy thinking.

I know we’re usually in a hurry to spread news, but copying and pasting will actually save you time. If you must type something, please check to be sure that what you have typed is correct. Shoddiness does not advance the cause — in fact, it sets it back and hurts everyone.

Please do not take offense at my words. I know you all have the best motives possible and I count you among the true patriots and am proud to know each and every one of you, particularly those of you who consistently make sure that we are all as fully informed as we can be. You have my gratitude. Please consider my offering here as a contribution toward the cause and nothing else.

Great advice. I will follow it from now on and encourage others to as well.
