I definitely agree, Joe. Many of the long articles that people cut and paste (post) tend to be in threads discussing current news stories, such as the Pledge of Allegiance decision. I venture to say that this thread and many like it will drop off the bottom in fairly short order. In the meantime, the links to the news sources and articles will still be there for people to read if they wish. There is no point in permanently archiving this stuff. Also, most of these articles are copyrighted, and I wonder about the legality of cutting and pasting them here. Iffy proposition, I think.Don Firth
