Hmmm, I wasn’t posting it as a “news article” from WSJ.
Isn’t it a Bloggers&Personal not a news area?

Cunning,

Your link says “WSJ”. That implies the newspaper. The link instead goes to a community forum, where anyone can post.

“Bloggers and Personal” should have resulted in a correct identification of the Serbian gentleman (or gentlewoman, as the case may be) instead of “WSJ”

“WSJ” implies either an endorsement or an ownership of the Blog article by the “WSJ” staff

Typically when bloggers post here, they post either to their own blog sites or blogs that have voluntarily linked to their blogs.

However, in this case, neither rule applied. Anyone can post to the WSJ community forum. It is like a message board. It is not anyone’s personal blog
