    Generally, yes. I know the rule explicitly says "the first sentence" only so another mod may feel differently.

    I, however, remember the discussions among the staff that prompted the rule. Folks were cutting and pasting entire articles without attribution, sometimes trying to make it look like the words were their own. That had to stop. It mostly has.

    OTOH, if you'd like us all to never exercise any judgement, allow no leeway, and rigidly enforce the rule, let me or any other staffer know. :)

    I usually copy and paste a couple of sentences that pertain to the subject of the thread, and then copy and paste the source, so that others can get the full context of the article for themselves, then usually the rest of that post I offer up my conclusions or opinions of the articel.

    Does this one count? Can I post them all today or is there a limit on how many I can post in one day?

    All posts count, but if you go and post for the sake of upping your count you will probably be called out for it. If you didn't create an intro, go ahead and do that. If you are going to buy something from someone here, most members are going to be leery of strangers or guys who don't at least make an attempt to be part of the community.

    There are no daily limits on posts.

    ETA-Definitely don't go asking about someone's sale in an unrelated thread. :spank:

    I will attempt to create an intro now. ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival? No? And why are you warning me about "don't go asking about some ones sale in an unrelated thread"? Did I already do this? Thanks for your time btw.

    That's the gun I was wanting to buy. I live in the same small town and he's right here wanting to sell and I am right here too. I didn't know this would be against any rules since it's the whole point of the forum but I will obey. Maybe it will be better if I just pay the $25.00, I will consider it but I am truly poor so maybe not. I will erase the offending comment if I can find it again, thanks again. Ellis.

    For someone so anxious to make a purchase, I have a hard time understanding why the donation route to instant access seems so distasteful.

    I think this is the first time I've ever shilled for donations but since time seems to really be of the essence in this case, it seems worth mentioning.
    Yes, $25.00 seems like so little money these days but I am disabled with a $1,200 a month S. S. check to get buy with. I had to quit smoking and drinking to makes ends meet. I really shouldn't be paying good money for, what others with much more, get for free. I will think on it.

    So if you cannot afford it, just think up some short but interesting posts either in threads you start or as replies to threads started by others. 25 posts are just about nothing in the scope of things.
