Probably the whole article without edits.
The site doesn't care and can handle the data and a long article is just as easy to bypass as a snip is.

WAPO, NYT, Daily Beast & Esquire are core subscriptions for me. That's why you see mostly full articles from me. But brevity is sometimes called for due to length and because the point I want to make is in a paragraph or two.

I link because most sites have a free article or 2 or 3.

Emboldening is my preference; I try not to get carried away.

Often times I find a whole article worthy, don't expect others to find what I find important and reluctant to bold lines as it is another form of editing.

Also, I like when a whole article is posted cuz saves me following a link and possibly being stymied by a pay wall or worse disastrous encounters.

Just to get the opinions going.

Agree i don't recall you doing that before, that's why i mentioned it.

Re your question to the board there are obviously as expected different positions on that. Sometimes one is better sometimes the other. Personally i have said before one of the reasons i post whole articles so much is that more paywalls are appearing all the time and i expect many here, posters and readers included, would be blocked by at least some of those paywalls. That aside it's a moderation thing also, isn't it that posters are free to do whatever is most preferred by them on that. I'm sure there are a number of factors involved. Different factors for different people. On computer or phone. Time involved would be important for many. Better left to the poster. Works fine as it is, i think. ;-)

P - Question for the board. What is the preference - less or more; whole article or as much brevity as possible.
