^^^ DS, you do know this reads like it's your writing, rather than being a quote of almost the entire article that you linked -- without attribution? Once I realize something like this is actually a quote (despite the absence of quation marks, block quoting or any other signal), I stop reading the post and click on the link.

Really, why not tell us the title of the article (putting it in the subject line doesn't necessarily clue the reader) and who wrote or published it (ie, who owns the copyright)? Why not use selective quoting as a teaser and give a description of it (with maybe a few thoughts on why you think it's interesting) instead of just indiscriminate cutting and pasting?
