The ABQ Journal is listed under the “excerpt” category on the copyright list. The general rule (as it has been explained to me by a moderator) is you can generally excerpt up to one-third of an article or a maximum of 300 words, whichever is less. The exceptions are AP-linked articles which are generally limited to a sentence or two. Now that means if an article is 600 words long, you get to excerpt up to 200. If you use Firefox as your browser, they have a neat little add-on called “Word Count Plus” that counts the words in any highlighted selection.

(above has 102 words)

Thanks a lot for the info! Where do you find the list? I looked to see if there was a place that showed the posting rules, but it was more about no profanity, etc.

I really appreciate your help.

At my last job we had a Citation and I have to say it's a real kick being ferried around in one. Here in NM my new job has a mere turboprop, and actually we're not flying it much 'cause times they ain't exactly fat. What the heck - if it's good enough for me, it's good enough for the politicians.

But I will miss that jet.
