[Shooter 2.5]

I thought there is a rule against posting full articles that are copyrighted. The last thread I was on was only an excerpt so I'm not sure what the rules are.

The assault weapons bill has been discussed so many times that I'm not sure who would be interested in archiving all of these.

I thought there is a rule against posting full articles that are copyrighted. The last thread I was on was only an excerpt so I'm not sure what the rules are.

Unless they've changed the rules again recently, only Washington Post and L.A. Times have to be excerpted. If you look at the Posting page, it'll always tell you which ones must be excerpted. It used to be that all were allowed. Then the court cases and nothing from those two sources was allowed. Then more court events and (because it didn't seem we could make it worse), it was open season on them again. Then the final, most recent case when we went back to excerpting the Two Evil Ones.

Most posters generally honor the request of Jewish World Review to only post excerpts. I guess it's become traditional but has never been a forum rule as far as I know. It's a special case as they have a lot of conservative columnists that aren't widely syndicated and they need the ad revenue our clicks bring them. These would be columnists like Cal Thomas and Mona Charen, to name only two.

There's been a flurry recently of excerpt posting which is why I messaged you about it. Perhaps my words sounded a bit stern. Please keep posting threads with the full articles. Any article from WND has always been fair game. They're well aware that we're supporters of them and have never complained to FR.
