So you really don't have the ability to edit the post on CA? I doubt that's true. 

 

You just don't get it. Why would Chris even consider editing the RSS content? The feed is syndicated, i.e. published to all subscribers, with the content consisting of what the publisher chooses to include, i.e. what the publisher intends subscribers to receive.

He's not complaining about his site, he's complaining about yours, as are you too. Since you BOTH don't like how YOUR site is displaying it, why not just fix it? Again, boom - problem solved for both of you. 

 

Further, even if Jeff changes a setting on his site, you still have the full article on your site, which is now indexed on search engines, etc. So that still doesn't resolve the issue for you. 

 

Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to see an object clearly when you look through a telescope from the wrong end?

It's still a choice. Unless I'm mistaken and someone is holding a gun to CA/Chris's head telling him - 'you must publish this article, in full, or else'.

 

Since you still don't or refuse to get it, let me give you a simple example. You screw up in dealing with me. You can easily fix it in seconds. I can fix it too, but it would require a great deal of time and effort on my part. You are the one complaining about the problem. Query: Who should fix it?

 

It's a rhetorical question. No reply needed.

Easy.  Perhaps the other guy doesn't know how to set his site, or set it incorrectly by accident. It's clear he does not intend for the full content to be published. With that, it's clear what I would do to do the right thing. If I wanted to be a good citizen, I'd fix it on my site, or just delete it. 

 

The other guy has been told how to fix it and it's a very easy fix. All he has to do is follow what he was told if he really does not intend the full content to be published. If we are talking about good citizens, why is the person responsible for the screw up threatening to call his lawyer?

 

OTOH, perhaps he could ask his lawyer to help him fix it. I'm outta here!

Maybe he did, and the lawyer hired a forum troll.

Damn. I'd never have thought of that. ?

 

Neither would I. Evidently, you don't do divorce law (I didn't).

Actually I have, and I *still* wouldn't have thought of it.  ?

 

I do remember one case, not in our office, involving the divorce of an overweight attorney whose suit jackets strained to stay closed against a single button in front of his belly.  When his wife got served with the papers, she went through his closet and snipped that button off of all of his suits. 

 

It was only buttons. It could have been a lot worse. He was lucky not to have been married to Lorena Bobbitt.

They aren't needed.  @phototristan has now spent approximately 2000% of the time necessary to fix this on raising spurious objections to having the person primarily responsible for the problem perform the simple fix. 

 

Given the above, isn't it about time for, "Stop feeding the troll"?

Other people feel differently, and in fact the law treats this situation very differently than recording a phone conversation without consent.

Then the Law is an Ass !

Alex I believe was talking about the emails.

 

My bad. I assumed he was talking about the original topic until I went back after posting and looked at your post that Alex replied to. Nevertheless, it is still common knowledge and/or advice that when you write an email, you should assume that it will become public. Unless encrypted, email is/should not be considered to be secure.

What whiner. Sounds like something you should go crying to your mommy about. 

I did!

Here's what she sent back:

That photo guy really needs to get a life. Why on earth did he spend so much time writing so much about something he doesn't understand?

 

Maybe he needs a girlfriend. Jennifer from high school is back in town. Her mom said that she left Steve. Let me if your friend is interested.

 

 

Great reply! You should ask your mom to post regularly. She is both insightful and entertaining.

The longer this thread becomes, the more it reminds me of "How many fairies can dance on the head of a pin?"

That's what I have been trying to do since the last Star Wars movie....?

 

Oh, is that when this thread started?
