As Jack Benny was wont to say: "Well...".

:-)

In any case when posting an article I'll always post the text in addition to
the URL...it's a courtesy to those who don't care to click on a link.

Some used to cry "copyright violation!" when I posted articles but I haven't
heard that for a whiles, especially since I queried one complainer as to why
the articles I posted most always had a "Print this article" option...

And I haven't heard the "limited bandwidth" thang for a whiles, about a
decade ago IIRC it was a concern of primarily Europeans but it seems they've
joined the modern broadband world.

As lagniappe for Blinky and Sqwertz many WebTeeVee'ers (on older boxes)
would not be able to scroll down to read the whole article I posted, they'd
get a message saying, "This page is too big to display...". Ha...!!!
