Do you have to paste the WHOLE article here Sammi??
It's either feast of famine.
sam, just a few lines or even a paragraph or two are usually enough to give us an idea if we want to follow up with a link click. Sometimes an article is great, other times it's just link bait. A clue is generally all we need to decide.
And in quoting the *entire* article, you are reproducing it without the author's permission. In addition to a TOS violation, strictly speaking it's probably a copyright violation (or sumthin' like that).
You aren't the only person to quote whole articles here; others do it with some regularity.
