Thank you for posting this interesting article. I really have no comments on its content. But it does make historical sense for events that followed the classical age.

Please note that you violated IIDB Forum Rule #5, which reads

Quote:

(5) You will not post, distribute or reproduce in any way any copyrighted material, trademarks, or other proprietary information without obtaining the prior written consent of the owner of such proprietary rights. Exceptions to this standard are covered by the Federal law regarding fair use, 17 USCS 107, and related case law, which holds that only partial excerpts of copyrighted material may be reproduced, and only as necessary for criticism or comment.

You agreed to abide by this and other rules <a href="http://www.infidels.org/infidels/forumrules.html" target="_blank">here</a> when you posted here. Please take time to review them in order to avoid future in fractions.

In addition, we generally discourage threads in which the original post consists of little more than "Any comments?" and a link to an article. We encourage you to provide your own commentary on the article if you expect others to provide there.

Thank you for your attention.

Please note that I didn't copy this from the original -- I forwarded a post from the following URL:

Posting copyrighted material beyond the fair use exception is still a big no-no, even if it is second hand.

What was your point in posting this and all the other threads?

Please be advised that copyright laws apply not only to copies, but to copies of copies, as well as copies of copies of copies.

In the future, when posting an article, please post a link rather than posting it in its entirety. Also, we generally discourage the posting of links without any commentary. We want to know why you are posting this article. What point are you trying to make by posting this? If you expect a response other than "Oh, that's nice," you had better make a point or present an argument of some sort.

You get the benefit of the doubt since you're new, but in the future, the posting of articles without commentary will be regarded as spamming and dealt with accordingly.

That said, please enjoy your stay on the IIDB.
