Like many People, I read from several different news sources each day. I also have regular contact with several friends that I used to work with in order to make sure I know how they are doing and to stay up to speed in a couple of areas where I have a particular interest. I guess I have an inquiring mind and just feel a need to know as much as I can.

When I pull up the J-Hub, I do so to read what is on the minds of the people in this area. If someone wants to include an article they have read as well as their views on the subject, then that is what is on their mind and I am interested in what they think.

I don’t wish to be negative or offend anyone, but posting an article straight from a news source to the J-Hub without any commentary or opinions from the one submitting the article doesn’t make sense to me. We can get the information from reading the newspaper ourselves. A good number of us have probably read about the subject in at least two of the news sources we read every day.

This really isn’t a rant because I don’t have to read anything that doesn’t interest me. However, if there is a very good reason for posting articles from readily available news sources with out any further commentary, I would like to understand the reason and maybe become a little smarter than I currently am.

No ranting necessary - I agree with you.  A BLOG is something that you write...not a copy and paste from ah AP source.  At least, without some commentary about WHY ONE is posting it.  I believe the "articles" is the place for those!!  ;)
