Free Republic should CHARGE Bloomberg for providing free advertising and the link. One paragraph is not reproduction.
Bloomberg owns the content, we may not like their restrictions but it is their creation and their property and the rights of property and ownership of one’s creation trumps convenience in posting more than a link only.
If excerpts aren't allowed, I won't even post content from them. If it's something that important, I'll post a summary of the events in my own words and bypass the story. (my own work)
We're all screwed just the same.

Well, they all should, but they do not. Seriously, it is their loss.
I apologize for the lack of contractions, but my husband has this on a French keyboard so I do not really know how to do apostrophes. :)
Anyway, it is best not to get FR into trouble.
