George, You are correct, it's not just LAT and WP, but their affiliates as well. Here's the link, I also posted it in reply #14.

Scanned images of the LAT/WP vs Free Republic Settlement docs and Amended Final Judgment.

[george wythe]

Thanks.

Sometimes these legalese documents can be difficult to understand, so I appreciate your confirmation.

[Admin Moderator]

It wouldn't be dead if people used it. This forum is for news and political activism. The General Interest forum is for articles that do not advance the conservative agenda.

[TaxRelief]

What is the Republican Liberty Caucus [topic].

[Soaring Feather]

bump and thanks for the ping Tonkin.

[TaxRelief]

Would you please define "the Conservative Agenda" for clarification purposes? Thank you.

[Soaring Feather]

((((((((((ping)))))))))))

Interesting article.

[MeekOneGOP]

My post may not have been entirely clear, so thanks for clarifying that. I have the article that Jim Robinson/FR management posted bookmarked on my profile page for reference. On occasions I am not sure if a source is part of the WP/LAT parent company (and hence part of the agreement), so I keep it there to verify on those occasions.

Thanks, AM for your link on post #51 as well ! ...

My main point was that if an article is NOT sourced from one of those WP/LAT companies covered in the agreement, then excerpting is unnecessary. It is annoying to me to have to go to another site to read an article when it could have rightfully been posted on the FR post. I think there are a lot of Freepers that feel the same way. Plus, there are some that WON'T read it that would if it's posted in it's entirety here. (I don't mind going to the WP or LAT to read them ... it's the 'law').

"I'm just dismuffed it took you this long to ping ME!! Owwwww... "

We have another dismuffed user Laz! Report for duty.

Here is a link to the FReeper Photo Album in case you haven't already found it. There are way too many RIPs by the names.

To remove as many democrats from power, at every level of government and to get this country back on track as our Founding Fathers intended.

During my lurk period, I recall seeing that posting full articles from The Onion is also verboten because their lawyers got all whiney. Still true, or have they come to their senses?

[Admin Moderator]

Still true.

Copyright infringement complaint from The Onion

[Works_For_Scale]

Still true.

Then I'll simply have to utilize network news broadcasts, Democrat party press releases, and the collected wit and witticism of Barbra Streisand for source material when I lampoon absurdity by using absurdity.

I do hope that newbies will see to it that they are apprised of the respective meanings of "hugh" and "series" --at least so far as this forum is concerned.

thanks

[stand watie]

!!!!!!

[Admin Moderator]

Yes, it would be good to link the source, if possible. It gives the author appropriate credit.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

ROFL!!

[Admin Moderator]

I probably needed it earlier. I completely missed your post #17. Sorry about that chief.

[Admin Moderator]

John does all the software changes. I don't know if title alterations are in his plans. You might want to run it by him.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

[stands2reason]

Welcome to FR, WFS!!!

[Works_For_Scale]

Thank you!

[anotherview]

First, a big thank you for the post.

It really bothers me when, say, an article on the Middle East ends up under "Mexico". Articles really need to be only in topics they are actually related to.

Speaking of which, a couple of more country topics added to the list would be a good idea. My favorite choices: Iraq, France, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, and a generic one for Africa.

[Jen]

...no post but statement "removed by admin. moderator".. the voyerism in me is VERY CURIOUS..

You're a woman, right? Comes naturally. ;-)

I want to know too!

[Jen]

ADMINLECTURESERIES

Ah ha! That's cool. So that's what the keywords are for.

[Admin Moderator]

I've flagged John to your post. It would be nice to see these countries.

[Admin Moderator]

I've posted it on our home page for future reference.

[Jen]

Not a 'chief' - just one of the 'indians'. ;-) (Note to ACLU: it's just a figure of speech you nitwits.)

(I'm ALIVE!!! WooooHoooo, I didn't get zotted for messing with the AM.)

Feel the gin

Sorry, I'm Anti-Gin. I prefer Tequila - in a perfect Margarita.

[Jen]

"Dismuffed" - another entry in the FReeper Lexicon?

[Jen]

Good idea.

[Syncro]

Only one these topics will show up in the sidebars, posting to multiple topics will still only show one topic

So how did you do this...are you special? LOL

Announcements; Breaking News; Free Republic; Your Opinion/Questions

If I clix on "Add Topic" can I really add one?

[Jen]

You have FReepmail.

[Timesink]

I have often thought "Why aint anyone seeing my bumps???" only to find where an admin mod sent it... *sigh*

I always refer to the moving of threads out of the news forum as "ghettoization".

[Wondervixen]

Why should we want to quote from birdcage liners anyway?

[Cosmo]

I'm a Patron Silver fanatic, and I believe ( as do my friends) that I make the world's most perfect margarita:)

[Admin Moderator]

I double dog dare you to click me

[Syncro]

You are MEAN.......LOL


Where is the answer to my question?

Ok, I am a fringe FR guy, so if you don't answer, I will understand...Heh

[Admin Moderator]

Maybe, it's just what we've noticed since the last software update. I don't know what abilities John has set the moderator account up with, it might be the old way and he never changed our posting abilities. We know for sure threads that are posted by regular accounts to breaking news, front page, editorial and extended news, only one will show up. Also, we've noticed some quirks with activism, annoucements and fr.

[Admin Moderator]

Got it and replied.

[Admin Moderator]

Add roughage to the forum?

[Admin Moderator]

Hey, I can only answer one post at a time, and now I've answered you twice! Therefore, you have to bring the donuts tomorrow ;)

[Chad Fairbanks]

Blah blah blah I can't hear you lal-la-la-la...

Thank you - this was a much-needed thread...

[Syncro]

LOL no problem, the donuts have been faxed...

And thanks

But I still wonder if we click on add topic if it will add it.

Hay, I have a good idea, I will try it.......LOL

[Admin Moderator]

Just don't place it in breaking news. hahaha

[Admin Moderator]

Oh, and those cheese danish better not get mushed in the fax machine.

[Jen]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yep I am. :) Can't resist a double dog dare!
