I have mentioned before that I really wish you wouldn't just cut and paste whole articles and expect busy people to wade through them trying to find what you think is relevant to the issue, but would quote the paragraph or two that supports your point, and cite to the article so readers who are so inclined can read more to see whether the quotes are in context.

Now, there's a novel thought.

Mayhaps the reason your suggestion has not been adopted is that it would require the poster to actually dig through the article to find and identify those portions that support his or her position.

Too radical. It's much easier to post a 2,000 word article, without link, and ask the readers here to read the entire article and ferret out those portions that may be relevant.
