Thread Name: BS: Long Posts in Newspaper Threads
Subject: RE: BS: Long Posts in Newspaper Threads
I suppose you could first post one that says "this isn't a real article, the next one will be," and send that along, then open the thread again and post your actual article.
Or I could go back to my old routine of running part of the article and searching for a durable link. There are some newspapers, like the San Francisco Chronicle, that seem to leave article accessible for years.
I'm sorry Joe doesn't appreciate of this form of discussion. Here I thought I was doing him a favor by continuing one thread instead of starting all sorts of new little threads. Is Joe a newspaper reader, does he understand this impulse? When I read the paper I always seem to find some interesting article to share with whoever else is in the room, as do the rest of our regular contributors.
