So why excerpt it? Why not share it full on Free Republic as you use the site funded by the members to gain readers?
No body has asked you not to post your writing or a link, they are just asking, as Jim Robinson has asked, if you use the site to promote your writing, share your writing in full.
thanks thackney,
was not aware of Jim saying that or that it was even a requirement.
I appreciate the insight and will do things differently in the future.
