thanks, and please back-up to 137 which is what you used
to post to me and the situation i described is contained within
that post. I just edited my just done reply to you to make it
more clear that a copy of the text was done rather than urls.

#145 RE: Mattu #143

a follow-up to "... if there was a [source]link supplied..."

I just re-visited that thread i mentioned in #137
and found that latest posts had an url to Silicon Investor
to the text copied. Question is of common sense in that
when the total text is copied, pages of text, then the url
is not used, as in not needed to redirect the reader to the
source, which is what its all about. So if each post copied
contains all the text, then it may be "too much."
Also, visit post number 1 and do a view Next 10 and notice
that no url was appended to the Silicon Investor posts
that were copied over in full. Try 114 and view Next 10 and
get same situation, text without the url. For sure these do
not fit Silicon Investor's terms of service as they have already
told me that a short intro or summary followed by an url is ok,
but not the whole post, with or without an url.
