When something is new and has potential it's hard to figure out which way to go but one thing I believe is current news in people's special topics is popular. I barely watch the news anymore except maybe Politically Incorrect! LOL! Had to add a little humor! Peace! and Thanks for Everything!

First off summerizing the articles (or part of) is basically required except in instances where you dissect the news article itself with your comments (kinda like Dick Cowen does at marijuananews) - this should not be done except in rare instances here.A quick summery of key news items each day is preferred - a few sentences along with why you think that item is significant (big story, controversal, unique, bizarre, etc).The objective of Cannabis News is to keep people informed while getting them to interact with others through comments. Interaction is the key to change.Still not quite sure how this is supposed to work...see http://www.slashdot.org/ website to see how posting just summeries and excepts can be far more useful (as well as legal) than posting entire articles.Thanks again for all your help!Ronp.s. some /.ers include the head of /. have asked for a link so I will add one. /. is awesome and among the best sites on the net!! http://www.slashdot.org/p.s.s. All the Cannabis News scripts were written from scratch in PERL using MS-Dos EDIT (among the best editors ever made) and aren't derived from any /. code.

Thanks Ron, I have a few articles saved to post but from what you posted in the web form I shouldn't post them. Where do you get news story with out using the AP etc?
