I, for one, was glad to read the article. Should there have been an excerpt?

If a DU member actually does the work to come up with an original article,
is there some reason they shouldn't link it here?

An article is an article is an article. They get posted here often enough...

I'd be glad to see more that were produced by DU members,
as opposed to "the professionals" from the "major sites"
who may be part of the "beltway bubble".

...I use my actual identity in both the blog and this forum. I am not hiding anything. It would be ridiculously simple to have done so.

If you'd at least post your opinion. But the link only? Are you selling your opinion or or flogging your blog? Just saying.
