2 (02:07) Soldier blogging from Mosul: MY WAR - Fear And Loathing In Iraq

I was reading yesterdays Rantburg this morning and ran across the above link.When I tried to post the same link a few days ago it was deleted and you told me links to other blogs are not allowed
Why was link allowed to remain?

Well, at least you seem to be scaling to match it.

#5  I think that was one of the periodic denial of service attacks. Just ignore about 5000 of them...

Speaking of what's up, I noticed late last night that there were about 5,500 people online at one time.

#1  The link was posted late at night, when I was nitey-bye. But it was also posted correctly.

Links to other blogs are allowed, even encouraged, with the following provisos:

1. Post the headline, attribution to the blog, and a link.

2. Add your discussion of the content if you want, but don't post more than a few lines of the content.

What isn't allowed is the full content of a post on someone else's blog, off-topic stuff, or pure opinion pieces. I think of front-line milblogs as news sources, so I'm usually pretty forgiving in that respect, though other editors might not be.
