    One can only assume that you started your blog because of your outrage at the unethical and criminal activities revealed by Climategate. Maybe you don’t know this, but bloggers consider it unethical to use another’s content without giving credit where it’s due. If you ever want anyone to link to your blog, you need to get your head out of your unethical rear end.

    Try giving credit profusely (go back and edit your posts) before it spreads as to what you’re doing. Just a tip to help you succeed.

    Thank you for your advice. However, you have not noticed that we do in fact provide links to every source article in a post. At the end of every post that from an article, you will see a “Full Story” or similarly named link. This link brings readers to the original article from which we are quoting.

    In the case of a video, we simply embed the video. The maker of the video has chosen to “enable embedding” at youtube (or other video hosting site) fully aware that others will be doing so. The videos nearly always include a self-promotion in them with the name of the site which sponsored it. In addition, at the end of the video a youtube screen comes up that shows the direct link to the video on youtube and anyone can copy and paste it. And, just about everyone knows that you can simply double-click on an embedded video to go directly to the youtube page.

    If you know of an article on the site, other than a video, for which we do not have proper attribution with a link to the originating content, please let us know.
