Some more items to consider:

• Do not excerpt an article unless necessary. Some times the article gets pulled off the original site and the post here on FR is the only copy.
• If possible, link to the "printer friendly" version of the article. Those of us stuck in 56K dialup HELL appreciate this as the printer friendly version is usually not as graphic intense.

Thanks!

Do not excerpt an article unless necessary.

I too, like seeing entire articles on FR, especially if the newspaper site requires registration to read the whole article.

I have heard, from writers that I respect, that by posting an entire column we deprive them of a hit on their site. Sometimes, when legacy media is anticipating job cuts, the number of hits determines who goes and who stays on the payroll.
