My two cents on the whole excerpt commotion:

I agree with mhking. If the article is not a part of the Related Publications in the LAT/WP vs Free Republic Settlement Agreement then it is a matter of common courtesy to post the entire article. Mhking did the appropriate thing by requesting to "Please post the entire article when not covered by WP/LAT exclusion" and then posting the article for others to read. He was considerate and proactive without taking an acrimonious tone.

Ironically, there are those that would rather expend what must be crucial energy by typing out a bitter comment to the messenger of the article than actually make the backbreaking effort to click on a link to read the full article.

I've been guilty of posting an excerpt of an article(s) that would have served the reader better had I posted the entire article. Fortunately, there are those that take the time to instruct and inform. It is through the helpful guidance of some very thoughtful FReepers that I am taking the time to become more familiar with LAT/WP v. FR when posting an article.

Also be aware that the Admin Moderators are vigilant for violations of the WP/LAT settlement. If you accidently post too much information from one article the post will be edited. Generally there is no rebuke, just a friendly reminder.
