I freely admit I did not bother to read the text, Sandman. I don't know what the original looked like, but it was probably divided into clear paragraphs. I read a lot of long things online - I read Hansard, for heaven's sake! - but huge dumps of text like that are near illegible. After the first few sentences I stopped bothering.

I agree with SRS: summarising what you think are the key points, then linking to the original article is far better, to my tastes.
