May I ask, what is the difference between a NYT or WaPo not wanting their own original content posted here, and an individual entrepreneur not wanting his own original content posted here?

You really do not see the cognitive dissonance presented by a thread originator posting only an excerpt from their own blog but unwilling to post the entire thing? Really?

Newssites post articles in order to get hits on their websites, and they are within their rights to ask us not to post the entire articles here so that they can continue in business

Someone's personal blog is their personal opinion only, and FR is not meant to be an advertising platform for anyone's suggestions, opinions, random thoughts, or pontifications in general. That is why they write to their personal blogs.

FR is no-one's personal blog -however, if you feel your blog has merit and it bears scrutiny from the FReepers that make up this site, you can certainly attempt to post it here and see if the majority of FReepers agree with you.

Posting excerpts in order to generate hits to your own personal site is NOT acceptable. FR is not in the business of promoting ads for anyone who only wants to call attention to themselves.
