Do a yahoo news search on the key terms, then you’ll have a link to something other than ap.org.

“Link and brief excerpt still allowed.”

Nope

“Source is Blocked, article not posted
ap.org cannot be posted to FR per copyright complaint”

Here is the link to the Orange County Register article.

It looks like one domain may not have been cleared when we went from no posting to excerpt only during their lawsuit crazy days a while back. Will check on it.

Heck, the AP doesn’t even want anybody DISCUSSING their articles, let alone posting “snippets!”

okay,thanks...I just thought maybe the rule had changed...again... and we weren’t allowed to post AP.
I know, I’ve posted from the Orange County Register before with no problemo...
