Maybe you could look up copyright law.
[once burned...]

2 paragraphs minus links and graphic are an excerpt of the 2-3 page article by definition.

If you are interested - you read the full monthly summary of changes with graphics and links plus the more than 200 pages of ISF OOB and reference data.
Which FR is not interested in hosting as a cross-post.

As I have repeatedly said, this is just a FYI heads up to the handfull of people still interested that happen to reside here - not for the BS artists such as yourself.

If the owners/moderators of FR have a problem with this - they can always erase my posts and revoke my log-in.
Their site to do with as they please.
To date, they have never complained - unlike your name-link that says:
“This account has been banned or suspended.”

It's good to hear that you will respect the wishes of the Admins. I presume that would extend to the site owner as well, eh?

In that spirit, here is a post from Jim Robinson on this very subject.

And here's the relevant text found at that link: "“I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.”


Just in case that wasn't plain enough for you, here's a whole thread that Mr. Robinson posted on the same subject.

And again, the relevant text: " Many times bloggers will post brief snippets only of their material and expect our readers to click on their link to get the "rest of the story" and then very seldom join in on the conversation that follows. No doubt this can give a blogger a few dozen extra hits and sometimes a little more, but unfortunately, it also raises the ire of some of our members.

If you would like to see your blog make it to the big times, and you have great news or great ideas to report, post your blog articles in their entirety to our Bloggers Forum on FR, and then join in on the fight for Liberty that follows!! If our readers like what you're posting, you may quickly become an accepted, trusted FReeper and you may start enjoying hundreds of new hits per each of your posted articles from FReepers who wish to see what else you may have to offer."


So I guess we can look forward to your unexcerpted posts in the future.
