I'm not sure whether or not this issue's been brought up before, but it's regarding the posting of articles.
I've come across several different threads, involving cases from different cities and even countries, and I find myself encountering this same problem in most cases.
I find part of an article regarding a case (in most cases), and then a link to said article. The problem is, the article either expired or was taken down for whatever reason, and no longer exists, thus the link is invalid and rendered useless.
I was wondering if it would be possible in these situations, when you're posting the link to an article, post it to use as a source, but to also copy and paste the entire article itself into the thread? This way, if it's ever removed from the third party website, we'll always have it here to refer to.
Keep in mind most of the threads I'm encountering this in date back to 2005, but I'm sure the same will occur a few years down the road to the current ones.
