Bob, Thanks for the post, but I'd like to correct the record on at least a couple of points. First, I am a Navy Vet, but I am not a "disabled vet." True, I have muscular dystrophy and I get around in a winged wheeled silver chariot instead of stumping around on spindly sticks like the rest of you have to do, but that hardly makes me disabled; and the MD is not war related. Second, when they told me they wanted a million bucks (and actually it was before they told me), I had suggested they fine me $100,000 per proven copyright infringement. We had at the time over a 100,000 articles posted so that would've worked out to approximately $10,000,000,000 (if my math is correct, I got lost in the zeros). After all, if my unfair competition has truly damaged these multi-billion dollar media corporations, then it's only reasonable that ALL publications which are represented in our postings here were also damaged and therefore they should all be entitled to fair and just payment. The last thing on this earth I'd ever want to do is deprive anyone of their just due.

"Margaret Morrow is the epitome of mainstream," said Boxer. "The legal community recognizes her reputation as a moderate consensus-builder, who respects and embraces the rule of law." Among those voting for Morrow last month were Hatch and the judiciary committee's ranking Democrat, Sen. Patrick Leahy of New York. Hatch criticized his Republican colleagues for holding up Morrow's nomination. "A compelling case cannot be made against her. . . . Ms. Morrow's legal career speaks for itself. She will be an asset to the federal bench," the Utah senator said.

I don't think JR (or anyone) would object to articles being linked to, rather than entire articles being posted here. The problem is, links to articles often disappear. They just drop off the radar.

A paragraph or two to entice us to read the article at the original site would be fine. But links have a nasty habit of disappearing. I've seen it happen too many times.

Bob,

I understand that oral arguments in the appeal have been scheduled for February 11, 2002, 1:30 pm, in Pasadena, Courtroom 1. Can you confirm the accuracy of that report?

Thank you.

How is what FreeRepublic does any different than the early Colonials posting newsworthy articles up in a town square for people to read and comment on? The WP and LAT are given credit, links are provided so they get hits on their web sites. What's the big deal? Would the WP and LAT post all Freeper comments on their opinion threads? Would they print our comments in their OP-ED pages? Not exactly, which makes their editing suppression of Free Speech. This forum provides Free Speech. There is an enforced set of guidelines which I would expect the WP and LAT to enforce as well. The difference is that FR allows ideas that are foreign to WP and LAT censors.

Wouldn't it be odd, if, perhaps JohnRob decided to start a site called "Free America", a hauntingly familiar conservative news forum? ;)

I know you probably won't have time to read this, but I thank you for this post. I haven't had much time for FR in the last few weeks, and would have freaked if I'd seen news of the judgement before seeing this. Thanks for saving me all that anguish!
