I see much of the commentary at this point is telling us they did not read the entire article before posting.

That’s the way it often works around here. I’ve been guilty of it a few times m’self.

GREAT article. Too bad nobody in the MSM will read it.

Few of us have the necessary amount of time and attention it would take to read every source article posted here, before commenting.

A large percentage of us still work or run businesses, have families at home, other social obligations and activities, or even other worthwhile pursuits.

That said, in most cases, the core bit of information (or opinion) from any article can be summed up in a paragraph or less. The hard part, is sifting through all the other word chaff to find it. If the OP is a skilled poster, they'll make sure to post that one nugget of info in the excerpt, which saves everyone else the time of having to dig it out themselves.

If not, most old hands around here can get the gist of the article from only reading the excerpt and the first handful of comments.
