And another thing particular to Free Republic, the excerpt.

So by the time the bot computes the allowed words, not one has anything to do with the actual title.

The meat is in 6 or 7 paragraphs, and never gets posted.

When its the WSJ behind a paywall, for example, clicking the link without having a subscription is worthless.

There is no rule that the excerpt has to start at the beginning of the article. If it’s one of these rambling introductions, the poster might want to excerpt a few paragraphs in the middle instead.
