Again there is no need to paste a wall of text, some opinion from you, a few relevant paragraphs with title and link to said article is the proper etiquette for posting such items.

If folks want to read more they can click the link.

Learn to use our post tools here such as the quote and such.

Be glad to answer any questions regarding such things here.

A basic layout:

-----
First comes your opinion on the subject of your post, yea/nay, anecdote or whatever here. Something of substance perferred since you're supposed to actually care about whatever it is you are posting about and not just to build your post count cause a post count doesn't mean jack if you don't say anything.

^^Title with embedded link is one way or Title and link seperate as shown below.

text quoted of several paragraphs or pertinent information from link you want to stand out or inform reader so they can make the decision to follow up or not and click on your link.


-----
Notice how easy it is to discern what I say versus what is "quoted" from the link.

If you respond to this you should be able to see how it is all formatted.

You'll also notice I often get rid of everyone's input except the person I'm responding to by deleting their responses when I respond. You don't have to do this but it helps keep who and what you are actually responding to simple to follow.

btw - fyi, the multi quotes you see in some thread responses are called "nested quotes". The last person to respond is the first name your read but the last response as you go down the quotes...

...is that sufficiently confusing ?

Yeah, I'm going to believe that our soldiers are in bad shape from some "troofer" site. Next?
Only the madman is absolutely sure.
