Explain this to me. Why would you have an on-line article that no one is allowed to reprint on their own on-line site? I mean, that's the way that one becomes an on-line presence, isnt it? You can post all the articles you want to on-line, but until you get distributed around the internets, appearing on the websites and blogs of other people, you're just whistling in the wind. However nice a link may be, a quote and a link is better, and those are going to go to the ones who allow them to cut and paste, without fee or penalty.
