I have learned from the creator of the Newburyport Blog that a user here quoted a post there in its entirety. This is a good site and while I am sure you can find many similarities between happenings there and here, I remind all to please give the name of every source and a link for all cited information, especially when direct quotes are used.
The post that was brought to my attention was by Ellen at 10:43 on 8/20/07.
I have updated the post with the link and reference.
Thank you,
Michael

Actually, upon reading Ellen's post I have learned 2 things:
1.) The poster at the Mirror originally broke the copyright
2.) Ellen did exactly right by posting a link to the article, although she did it in the immediately previous reply, going out of her way to find the original site, even though the Mirror poster didn't.
I see no big problem with this, but in the future, since article authors may not find the citation when they google search the articles easily, please cite your articles in the same post as the article itself.
And overall, keep up the good work!
