Bob and Everyone re: posting articles

Not picking on Bob here, just a reminder for everyone, including me, that when we post articles we should always post the link to that article.

Someone may want to follow up and read more articles from that site or author. May want to send the article to a friend, etc. And we always want to be giving proper attribution to both the author and the publication. They're the ones who did the work and put up the money to produce the content.

And even just from a copyright standpoint, attribution is key. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to just take content from everywhere and create our own website. It's for our own benefit that we always post the original link so that the website at least has a chance for readers to go their and see their advertising, etc. They have to stay in business. Or we don't get the content.

Personally, I think the appropriate thing to do is to link to articles. But if you insist on copying and pasting something, at the very least please include the link to the original.

We also put investorhub at risk for getting shut down if we don't abide by copyrights. It happened to a small board I used to participate on.
