well I just hope the readers with ability to think well see thru the MSM propaganda on this and had or will have a fruitful discussion, not going to wade thru the thread today. Much of this in OP's first post is just that. OP, there is a requirement on glp that you enter into discussion YOURSELF as to the copyright rules and you so rarely do.

In accordance with industry accepted best practices we ask that users limit their copy / paste of copyrighted material to the relevant portions of the article you wish to discuss and no more than 50% of the source material, provide a link back to the original article and provide your original comments / criticism in your post with the article. could you consider following the rules the rest of us have to and say something more than' thanks for the pin"? If you are going to post these you should have SOME opinion.
