ONEBGG, that's three questions, so I hope I can answer to your satisfaction.
Is there some reason you are posting such a long post?
The article is from the front page of the newspaper, so it is not particularly long.
Are you deliberately trying to go against what is in the i-box?
No, not at all. I understood the iBox was geared to lengthy opinion pieces so they wouldn't be posted in their entirety if they could be summed up properly. In this case the article contains a number of factual paragraphs that need to be read together to make sense. There isn't a beginning, a middle, and a summation ending as generally occurs in editorial copy.
I want to know why you choose to not follow the boards guidelines?
I didn't realize I was not following the board's guidelines. In fact, I went to the trouble to highlight (bold face) the couple of sentences that I found most troubling. To post those sentences without the rest of the article would make no sense to the reader because all context would be lost.
What I did, in the spirit of the iBox, was write an opening sentence, post the link at the top of the page so up front the source was clear, then I included the title of the newspaper, and then their headline.
Would it not be common sense that the reader would, in the first 10 lines or so know whether they wanted to read the article or not for their own information, or to make a comment as I solicited?
I hope I have satisfactorily answered your questions. Let me know if you have others.
