Hi Cindy, just wanted to thank you for how you always seem to take time to first check Free Republic's copyright restriction list, then when you post, you have been including a source name, a date and a working link which goes directly to the article on the site of the original publisher.

This is something you appear to be doing for all of the articles you post as threads and also in all of your replies. The care you take in posting correctly each time, keeps Free Republic copyright restriction compliant and makes the job of us volunteers back here much easier.
