How important is it to properly post an article? Think of you many times you've seen duplicate articles posted. Often within the same hour. Which has more replies? Which is the better thread? Answer: The one that has the decent excerpt and enough details that make it worth looking at.

Many folks have set out with a mission to herd the cats. I have yet to see it done.

Can’t blame ya for trying, though.

More advice for posting articles:

Don’t just search the title, also search the major keyword. Often the same article will be posted by ten different sources with ten different titles.

Add keywords. Name of country, government department, main person’s last name. Tons of threads never get seen by those of us that look for articles by keyword.

Go to the original source. If HotMess.Blog posts a short blurb about an article from a newspaper, post the original article, not the blog blurb. I hate that. We all hate that.
