Posting the entire articles, as you say, is more practical for folks with poor
connections. Secondly, it saves you the hassle of going to the websiste, and the
danger that some type of spyware/adware gets downloaded on your computer
(you'd be surprised at the amount of "legitimate sites" that have these 
"software").
Finally, you ensure that the information is achived.

I thinking more in terms of articles from the major media. Down the road, these 
are
generally harder to access. I understand more the logic behind chopping
articles/essays from alternative sources, especially if they're particularly 
long.
