BTW, I think you were legitimately not in the “know” about exerting your articles. Most threads that are posted are exerted and linked, so one would think every article is posted in the same way by bloggers; but there are some bloggers who are disingenuous about trying to direct traffic to their blog. I don't think you are one of those disingenuous bloggers.
