Snip, too many problems for me to clean up. Please hit the link.

Some articles can be cleaned quickly. This one had non-unicode characters and that's a problem for all of us. If it is going to take too much time, just post with a title and link, and advise us in one line in the body to go to the link (or add your own interpretation and analysis; that's always okay).

In general, we want the posts edited so that they are readable. At a minimum, please remove the stuff that obviously doesn't belong like unrelated links and sidebars. You can also remove repetitious stuff near the bottom of an article. If you feel like fixing non-unicode characters, that's even better.

To Total_War: you won't get crap for posting, but we mods would like people who put up a post to clean said post. We can't be here all the time, and a good post is more pleasant to read. Fred and all the mods have day jobs.

To all: don't feel that we have to post everything and anything just to post. The Burg is just as good with 20 focused posts on the WoT (and stupid animal stories, of course) as with 80 posts that are all over the place.

Thanks for the link and the post and the effort. I feel for you. I have never tried to post an article out of fear that I would get more 'cr-p' for posting it improperly then I would over the content.

#1  Could you clean this up next time instead of all the web page spam? It only takes a fee seconds to delete the extraneous stuff out. And clean up the Euro characters and other things.

Here is a tip. Copy the article. Paste it into Notepad or another plain text editor. Edit out the garbage. Replace the special characters like whats embedded here " Infidel’s " (to me thats a a with a hat, a Euro symbol and a TM symbol between the l and the s at the end of the word).

The article is rife with crap characters to the point where its nearly unreadable and more than half your post is trash.
