Please so not post anything from The Onion.

Thanks,

Jim

Darn shame they're limiting their exposure this way. Sigh...

I have e-mailed smills@theonion.com, not in a mean way or anything, but just pointing out to him the potential readership he is losing.

Well, I for one have posted several things from The Onion.

This sucks.

lol - no great loss. I've read the onion 2 times in the last year - both times after someone posted an article here or uo.stratics.com.

I've always wondered about deep linking of images.

The Onion are a bunch of wankers if you ask me.

Well, I have not been loking at the Onion for ages now. Despite the great bit they did right after 9-11, ( "Hijackers Surpised to Fnd Themselves in Hell") they have become increasingly whiny , anti-troops and Anti-America.

Worse yet, they just aren't funny any more.

I don't need their stuff.

BTW, I continue to love Free Republic! Thanks!

I agree with JR. One should chose their fights carefully. This could cost money that could better be used elsewhere. And besides, you can always refer to their story if need be.

OK, it's their call. Pity, though - nearly all their hits from me have been through FR. Now there will be none.

Seems to me the biggest issue is the posting of images that are still hosted by their servers. That way, they use up the bandwidth, but they don't get the hits for advertisement sales. I can understand their point of view.

You might want to ask how they feel about reposting of article content under fair use, without the Onion-hosted images.

They were getting less and less humorous anyway.

No great loss really.

Anything good I've said previously about the Onion, I now take back.
