Both? When I quote an article, in whole or in part, I will usually post a link so folks can verify or read the rest.

I like having a link and the article, if it's less than about 1000 to 2000 words. If it's really long, quote the important sections.

I would also really like some personal discussion when quoting an article, especially if it's the first post in a new topic. Why do you think that it's important? What relevance does it have to current events, or to other stuff being talked about on the board? What is your opinion of the article, or of the reliability of the author and conclusions? Is there a reason for posting it, or is it to stir up crap.

I had that discussion several times with Eric and his article collections.

There's also the matter of copyright to consider. It is NOT fair use to simply paste the entire text of an article without comment. It's competing with the original article's location, it's not transformative and therefore it automatically fails two of the four fair use tests and fails what is in many ways the most important one: transformative or not.

Can we get a 'dark mode' option for the board? there doesn't seem to be anything similar in the display options.

i usually use an extension called dark reader to apply the effect universally on websites, but it doesn't seem to play well here (tends to not display icons and borders), it will fix itself if i flick the extension off and then on again, or simply refresh the page a few times, but it will go back to being broken when i load a new page.

i currently using a 50' tv as a monitor and white web pages tend to flashbang the whole living room at night.

I will look into it- bear with me!
