Dave and Dick and others - it actually isn't okay to copy and paste the content from other sites. That is a copyright infringement unless it has stated otherwise that it is free to share.

Fair use means short quotes, then post the URL. Those of you using Windows computers can go into your Windows or Office tools and add Sticky Notes to your desktop. I keep one in the corner of my screen that has a few pieces of code I use in different tasks (on various web sites where I work) and just select and copy it to paste into the form I'm working on. Create the empty shell of a URL and place it there so you can copy it when needed. Then add in the Mudcat info in the appropriate place once you've pasted it. I long since memorized the code for a standard URL,


but that is how one of the mudelves saves a few keystrokes. We make a few exceptions, usually to do with obituaries, and some of the content Joe posts to do with music scholarship.
