[Big Bureaucracy]

Would you explain to me what is the difference between

mgist posting my article http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/2425138/posts
and rface posting my article http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2391650/posts

None of those asked me if it is OK with me.
What is wrong with posting my own article? How is that offensive to you?

there isn't anything wrong with it per se...but a few weeks ago we were experiencing a rash of the blogpimps that would essentially post only a headline and perhaps one sentence. There was quite the kerfluffle about it. And most of them were of the type that you mentioned: stolen story from another location, using FR as a tool merely to inflate traffic counts for their blog, etc.
That's why I said in the opening post that you did a very good job of it. I even gave you an 8 of 10...I would not give such a rating to one I found offensive or one that was a copy/paste post.
I've just decided to have fun with it since then...please take it as nothing more...:)
