RE: The word limit always seems to magically be right before the critical information. Are you sure this is an “excerpt” and not a “teaser?”

FR rules do not allow me to post the entire article (much less the interesting chart in that page ). I’ve been suspended for a week for doing just that.

The whole article is just a click away.

Did not know about getting suspended for that. Sorry, you must have gotten hold of the “Jerk Mod” (Was it a Saturday morning, by chance?). No warnings?

But often that “one click away” is a computer crash for a lot of people if the site you’re linking is full of Malware. You might not realize it because you have a good anti-malware program, but not everybody is situated that way. Some sites have a bad rep for that...like the pro-Obama Business Insider. Town Hall has gotten pretty bad, Washington Times is terrible with the pop-ups, pop-unders and such. They’re getting better at their anti ad-blocking techniques.

What I’ve seen some people do is summarize the points without direct quoting. A list of the 12 jobs, for example, would have been good.
