And I will ask you again...were you 'harmed' by it, or better yet, what harm did it cause? That somebody clicked on the link and actually read the story? That upsets you? Why?

were you 'harmed' by it

The issue is not whether it did me harm; the issue is whether you posted the article in a straightforward manner.

what harm did it cause? That somebody clicked on the link and actually read the story? That upsets you? Why?

I have no clue what this string of insinuations is supposed to contribute except to muddy the waters. I have no objection to anyone reading the story. It is a very informative story. But I think it is important that FReepers have the confidence that when someone posts an article, they are really "reading the story," as it actually appeared in print, not as the poster has chosen to modify it to spin his particular point of view. I shouldn't have to click on the link to read the story; what you post should be the story , nothing more, nothing less.

I believe, in fact, that if you post copyright material, but change anything in it, you are legally obligated to say up front that you have done so.
