As a devoted member of Mudcat, I am glad to know that long cut and pastes are not allowed. If a 1 paragraph synopsis of the content, at least enough to whet interest, cant be managed, then material needs to be digested by poster. And if I'm not interested enough to go to "all" the effort of clicking on the link provided, that's my choice. Long posts are more difficult to read--if I'm going to read them I want to know that they are views expressed by a Mudcatter, not a journalist. I can read the newspaper for that. So thanks, Joe, for making the Mudcat Forum a more easily navigated space.
