best way to post

Post by tjstill (imported) »

Not a tech issue just not sure of the best way to post something.

I have found a screen play on the net in free circulation. It is about a Eunuch explorer in china. Its a good well written story but it is long ... very long. Normal practice here is to post the link and copy the text into the body of the post. I though you may not apreciate this considering the size of the text. It would be easily a medium to long story on the achieve. What is the best way forward, I am not sure on the guidelines on this?

I've converted the pdf you sent to a word document. I will send it as a new story on the story boards to Plix. Then Plix can deal with it, if he chooses to do so.

If it is in free ciculation without attribution, I suspect it will be OK to post, but we should try to find an author, etc. Do you have a source?

Thanks for the help with all this. I only had the link that I sent to you in my email. I copied the PDF from there however I have had a look around and found the following site which details quite a major project to bring to peoples attention the life of a Chinese explorer, the eunuch, Zheng Ho. The PDF is linked to this page. There is a note at the bottom of the page about copyright. Very sorry if I have wasted your time with this. I wonder how the project is doing though, quite interesting.
