Do not want to get into any trouble with any articles that are posted that could be copyright related.
You do know that you can post more than 10 words in a thread, don't you?

As more and more FReepers (old and new alike) post articles, they really need to pay attention to what they are doing. I know there is a need to excerpt many articles, but remember - you have up to 300 words or no more than 1/2 of the article if it is less than 300 words.
May I make some basic suggestions when excerpting? In addition to the above mentioned FR guidelines, please copy and paste the "who-what-when..." of the article. Earlier today, someone posted an article about a student getting arrested at school for an item found in his equipment bag. The FReeper failed at excerpting and did not even mention what that item was. Was that due to rudeness or laziness? I don't know.
Use snips if you need to. Oftentimes relevant and important info is found deep inside the article. Or maybe at the end. Post that, if you please.
Here’s the list of copyright sites:

If the site’s not on that list, you can post the whole thing and hit “Abuse” yourself to have the moderators double-check for copyright/excerpt problems.
