For goodness sakes HOW hard is it for you to click over to the site to read the interview?

Some sites remove their stuff into a pay-only archive after a month or so. Some sites remove the articles entirely after a span of time. When possible, it is better to have the article here.

In addition, those of us on dial up sometimes find problems with time and loading when we go to other sites.

Jim Rob has a required list of sources from which articles which must be excerpted. The thing is, "Quidnunc" does this all the time just to bug people by unneccessarily excerpting articles and doing it for no other reason than to annoy people. Otherwise, he would stop.

He does it to show off. I can think of no other reason why he persists when he has had dozens of posters request he cease the practice or not post at all. As I say, he has made a career on Free Republic of annoying everybody.

See previous comments for other reasons why excerpting is not the preferred method except when neccessary - as it usually is not when "Quidnunc" posts and then self-righteously proclaims his posting purity for all to admire.
