<<For starters, you cannot possibly know that I don't offer these articles to 
stimulate discussion, unless you have the ability to read my mind.>>

Fine.  You intend to stimulate discussion and you're inept. 

<<(Me):  "Cutting and pasting isn't journalism. "

MIllison:  Really?  As I think about it,  passing along articles written by 
others
could be considered a part of journalism,   in the sense of an editor -- a
wire service editor at a daily newspaper, for example -- who chooses which
stories to run from a variety of news services and who may take further
steps such as cutting to fit an available space, writing a new headline,
sub-headline, selecting pull-quotes, etc. That sort of editing is, of
course, part of journalism, too. ... [and more in this vein]>>

And none of which applies to the case in point. 

"[Your] cutting and pasting [internet articles to the P-list] is not 
journalism," was my meaning; I'll try to be more explicit in the future.  

If however, you think it is [journalism], and analogous to the work of a desk 
editor, then by all means:  put that "press" card in your hatband and wear it 
round the house.
