>>>Simply a choice here rather than anything nefarious.
When in doubt - go to the source... don’t quote a blog, quoting someone else.
And don’t quote your own blog by excerpting, or merely linking to your blog. That’s called “blog pimping” and is discouraged.
Last note on this issue from here.
Call it simple synchronicity. I had noted the post on the VFW website and WAS planning a post on my own blog, but first I checked around. Seemed to me some background was in order?
There was really no doubt involved, only a matter of perspective - I suspect.
I will, indeed, adjust in the future.
