I dunno, I just reread this!

Always, always tell the reader where you got your stuff and never never never take someone else's stuff and not at least give the name--always better to link!

I love to link. that is the point of this chaos called the Web!

Richard, will you bequeath your entire works to me?

You've already enlightened me, I figure to get a jump on things.

Well I know that real journalism is hard work; finding witnesses, checking sources, doing a little study in the history of the issues....

I tell ya one thing though...seeing Google as the Afterlife...hahah

... good writers should be paid for their labor ...

Okay Day ...

Think about this ...

How much money did John Hancock earn for his signature on the Declaration of Independence? How much money did any of the signators make off that one and the Constitution?

In the Age of the Internet ... found wedged between the current Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius those authors of originals work found within the Net of Ether are on a global stage for the masses to hear hear their words. If the words have meaning then the author has talent. That implies entities seek to secure their service. Those who fail to excite the ether are destined to reside in the Halls of Google and perhaps one day some one may become enlightened to the words once written long after the author has died.

Yeah I saw that!Looks like

Yeah, writers and sites need money. A lot of the bigger sites are getting very clever as far as advertising.

As far as employment opportunities I assume that some folks send out hundreds of resumes and they can do this rather cheaply.

I have mixed feelings about advertising. Certainly it can be annoying. It can also be entertaining and informative. And for better or worse, we are who we are largely because advertising has paid for so much of the infotainment that informs our worldviews and educates us more effectively than any school ever did. Maybe it is/was just easier to ignore offline advertising. Not many read the classified ads everyday but they were always there, a newspaper's bread and butter. Newspapers really need new revenue streams since the migration of Help Wanted, Real Estate and Personals online. Without them it just may be back to the dark ages for all us free riders. :D

Writing this caused me to wonder if anyone has studied how the hit to offline Help Wanteds has affected unemployment. Time to Google?

Thanks, Anon. That clears it

Okay, now you've lost me. It was my question, "Whose quote is it?", that started it all. There was nothing authoritative or conspiratorial about it. You put something in quotes and I naturally wanted to know who said it. That's the reason for quotes. To tell your readers that you're quoting someone else. And the usual thing when you're putting up a quote is to tell the reader the name of the person you're quoting. Forgive me, Resistance, but you're putting way too much thought into my simple question.

In reply to This might help; I think this

I see it when I click onto the particular comment. But if a few days or weeks pass, all I see on the address bar is the entire Blog post, and then I have to scroll down and find the original comment, I am unable to change the address bar when I do find the original to quote. Reading through all the comments is very time consuming.

I would prefer to let the commenters entire comment display, rather than me picking out a snippet.

You may have ascertained, I am a paranoid person. I do not trust our Government

Today they're your friends and tomorrow they're rounding you up, because you’ve made comments undermining their rules. Your comments are inciting others, you are promoting Sedition.

Eugene Debs went to prison over mere words. Patrick Henry was sought out by the British for mere words. Was it the listeners or was it the quoter’s under threat?

I watch what Libya, Iran or any other regimes ARE doing to dissidents.

It wasn't that long ago, America did the same to those of the Workers Party. I don’t think we should be lulled into some sense of security.

I don’t care to do the work for the authoritarians, by telling them who else they should be keeping an eye on.

"Tell us Resistance, who are you quoting?" Should I betray friends of the Revolution so easily, because it is customary?

If a writer wants to be recognized for their work, let them Post a Blog.

Comments are passing thoughts..
