Snackman's new board seems to be run like iHub!
Wonder why the Wavoids left their old home if that is what they are headed towards.
My two posts, which observed AB copyright policy (in answer to the moderator's question) and suggested folks contribute to the site (in support of the moderator and ABob), were deleted.
Goodness. Well, no point crying over spilt milk.
That's the end of my participation on that board as well. Shake the dust.
Good luck to them, and all. I prefer the moderation over here. ;-)

Is it O.K. to post the whole article, say from the New York Times, as long as we show the link?"
To which I pointed out essentially this from ABob's site:
"Fair Use Notice:

Users may make such material available in an effort to advance awareness and understanding of issues relating to civil rights, economics, individual rights, international affairs, liberty, science & technology, etc. We believe this constitutes a 'fair use' of any such copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the US Copyright Law.
At some point freedom of speech and copyright law merge. The following interpretation of "Fair Use" and subsequent posting policy were developed with the assistance of qualified legal council however, we are not lawyers and cannot offer you legal advise as to the limits of "Fair Use"
