Why do we need the entire text of news articles in this thread? We all have access to internet news, don't we? If at all there is something so important that it needs to be emphasized, just provide a link and copy+paste just those one or two lines that you want to discuss about.
Edit: RRA, I wasn't referring to your post above. It was just a coincidence. In fact, your post would be an example of helpful posting style that I was referring to.
The reason may be that back in the day, I would just post headline and link, but then a mod would complain that by the time that anyone may check out the report, the link is dead.
That perhaps is why full articles are posted here in general. BB.Net is the only board I know of who allows this. Everyone else doesn't either because of web space or fears of copyright infringement.
