A ban on Cut & Paste Odesseys?

[King of Atlantis]

Though i dont like the article post, i see nothing wrong with them. I usually just wait until the discussion becomes clear and then post according to the discussion.

As the initial article to launch a discussion it can be useful.

Maybe we should trial a week or backroom formats based on posters like Don Corleone-san. See if we can raise the bar in the debate.

Cut'n'paste based on the 80/20 rule where only 20 percent of something contains 80% of the goods. So have the main points... or even convert the article into its top 3 points and post the link.

If the style change doesn't work then we can always go back or try another form.
