That is why articles should be quoted, not just copy/pasted into a post. By using the QUOTE tags around the article, it will be placed in a quote box like any other quote, and the displayed size will be limited (you have to scroll to see the rest, from right inside the post itself). See belowI really should've stressed the use of the QUOTE tags from the beginning, because not only does it save space, but it also distinguishes your words from the piece your quoting. Example:

To use the quote tag manually, simply type
[quote]
before the article, and
[/quote]
after the article. That's it.
I might also stress that I'm tired of seeing articles posted with NO LINKS whatsoever to the original. That is NOT GOOD, so please -- either way -- include links to the original article every time you quote something in full.
