Sometimes those articles disappear or get the URL changed. Common sense (which often doesn't apply) leads me to believe it's fair use, as we're not trying to draw away traffic or steal content.

This is true, but I think most of us do try to remember to credit the source, whether it's in the written text or an embedded link.

Most news sites don't have a "credit the source and it's OK" rule. Complete duplication without commentary is harder to defend as fair use than short exerpts.

I don't have any ethical issue as long as it's linked, but it could cause a hassle for UT at some point. Kos had to ban it, but of course that site is much higher profile.

so my original issue was not about the content of the posts at all -whatever they quoted and however much of it and what opinion was given, but just that there seemed to be so many articles that were related yet in different forums, and yet the purpose of the forums seemed to be to keeps posts on similar topics in the same place. In other interweb worlds, the topics would probably have been moved to one place by a moderator. I was just wondering why not here. I can skip topics too, it's not a problem for me --as it happens I am interested in this topic, so I don't. Really not a criticism at all, just a wondering on the scheme of things. Cock.

I think rkz should just go ahead and do what he wants with the threads he starts, just as everyone else should.

If you're not interested then don't bother reading it.

Actually, I'm interested, I just don't always have the time to read the whole article, so a synopsis of the pertinent parts helps me. I also want to know his opinion.

I post this way, and will continue to post this way. But it's no guarantee my posts, or the excerpts, or the article will be read, as demonstrated in this thread.
