I previously had Google AdSense on the sidebar of this website, but decided that since I was reprinting articles off websites or transcribing articles from paper sources, that I shouldn't receive any compensation. I am archiving these writings, in entirety sometimes, rather than just publishing links, because I fear that one day the host websites will shut down or move or take the articles off, and we will lose these ideas. I also like having one database for myself to search through, rather than the entire web, when I want to pursue an idea. I realize that this archive is subjective because I do edit by choosing which articles to post, but my agenda is to record opinions about glass, and hopefully in the future to analyze the information I am posting here into something comprehensive and useful to those who follow me in research.

"New York Times webteam nukes the careers of many journalists
Thomas Crampton, formerly of the International Herald Tribune, sez, "The NYT committed most boneheaded move by a web team since the dawn of the Internet: In merging the International Herald Tribune and New York Times sites, the brilliant New York Times web team deleted all links to every IHT story along with the newspaper's archives. In other words, they erased my journalism career online. Anyone following one of the thousands of links from over the years to a specific IHT story is now directed to a generic home page. Full horror detailed in posting on my blog."
Reporter to NY Times Publisher: You Erased My Career (Thanks, Thomas!)"
