Why all these vanities? Why aren’t we posting news articles???

I found this article (which just happened to be written by a Freeper) to be informative and highly useful. Please remember that Freepers have a great deal of talent.

I would like to send this to my brother-in-law and some other small business owners that I know.

You said — “I found this article (which just happened to be written by a Freeper) to be informative and highly useful. Please remember that Freepers have a great deal of talent.”

If it’s an “article” — then where is the link to the original publication? If it’s not on any publication, then why is it any better of a statement than my drunk neighbor may tell me when he’s been downing a few beers?

Very simply, it’s easy enough to comment on *other news articles* and put in this information without any trouble. You go to something that is in the same area as you’re commenting on, post that article and either agree with it or disagree with it — and add your own information in there.

If this guy is qualified enough to write an “article” — then I would say either get a website and start a blog and post so that others can comment on it and either criticize it (with facts and details) or affirm it (with facts and details, likewise). Then we can refer to that “blog” as something that is recognized as a “kook site” (not worth a darn) or a good resource (worthwhile to keep referring to).

From some of the “quality” of information that gets posted here on Free Republic (by FReepers), some of it is crazy and I sure wouldn’t depend upon it for anything (even if others are good...).
