2010-12-29 --Tech & Moderator Notes
A reminder when posting articles
Today I dumped an article in the hopper, about the kidnapping of the police chief -- actually the sole police person -- of a small town on the Mexican side of the Guatamalan border by Guatamalan drug gangs. It was a good article, but I had to: the article was from the El Pasa Times, one of R1ghth4ven's clients. We will not link to sites that benefit that company.

An incomplete list of R1ghth4ven clients can be found here. Please check the list before posting your article -- or search the web for another source for the story that is not on the list.

Thank you for your consideration. And always, for helping make this site the wonderful place that it is.

For the moderators,
trailing wife

#1 I gather Aay Pee is on the "watch" list.

Would a good rule of thumb be that if you aren't sure of a source, to modify the header and include link only, and "Let Mod sort them out"?

#2 ...or google the story to see if other sources are out there besides APeeee. [not that 'they' have ever lifted other people's work, of course not, never, nada]

#3 I'm now blocking all the know WrongHaven sites with BlockSite add-on and a HOSTS file on my computer.
My brain trust(son & daughter) got me up to speed on how to accomplish this.
I too, want to do everything possible to make sure their hit traffic falls to near zero.
A relative works for the State of Minnesota in a capacity that looks to reduce exposure to the State.
I got him up to speed on these bastards.
He thinks he will be able to block all WrongHaven clients from being accessed from all of the States computers.
Ain't karma a b!tch.

#4 My brain trust(son & daughter) got me up to speed on how to accomplish this.

I'm going to have to find a brain trust of my own, Mikey. I managed to download BlockSite, but despite good instructions the last time we discussed this -- a few weeks ago -- I haven't figured out how to do the HOSTS file part. :-(

The entire state of Minnesota? Goodness. The Instapundit has repeatedly commented that it's not wise to fight with bloggers... in the long term.
