:: I should post the whole article or what? ::

Hell, yeah...within FR copyright rules.

Here’s the thing, when FR citizens “click-thru” to an article, FR is tagged as the originator and a cookie gets baked on both my and FR’s IP/MAC address. The result is a statistical means of gaining money for the author or the website/blog. I don’t prefer that type of intrusion.

If I read the FULL article and want to read other offerings from that website, I’ll start a new tab and input the website URL. Yes, I’ll get a cookie baked on my IP/MAC address from the website, but (and that a BIG BUT!) that avoids FR being the click-thru identifier and bakes a cookie on their server.

Jim and John don’t need all that clutter.

Jim links articles himself. There ain’t no problem with it.
