Re: copying websites: gardenwriters Digest, Vol 76, Issue 16

**"* A* B* <c*@netzero.com>**

Here's the scenario...

I read something interesting that I want to blog about. I copy a quote  
to use in my post--ALWAYS attributed with a link. It's a great way to  
start a posting, or flight of fancy as the case may be....

At any rate, the TYNT material makes is seem as if, when that quote is  
detected in my otherwise completely original posting, it pops the  
reader from my page to the page from which the quote originated.

As I now understand your post, TYNT will merely add ANOTHER link ("if  
you'd like to read more...") to the already linked quote, but leaves a  
reader in my blog unless they opt to travel out (same as they would  
have with the other attribution...).

Am I headed in the right direction here?

AND...what does TYNT get out of this? I assume they're in it for more  
than  the warm fuzzies.... How are they making their pound of flesh?
