I finally got annoyed enough at Snopes.com to find out why I can’t highlight anything on the site. \u00c2\u00a0I use the site quite often to debunk emailed chain-letters from family and friends…<\/p>\n
But, I can’t reliably cut & paste from the site. \u00c2\u00a0All I can do is Select All & Copy… \u00c2\u00a0Which typically meant alot of editting in my email application…<\/p>\n
It’s simply a javascript application running on the web page, and that’s allow you to click unless you are over a input \/ form box. \u00c2\u00a0So to re-enable your cut ‘n paste, just turn off Javascript temporarily… \u00c2\u00a0I personally think that this is vile, and serves no obvious reason other than to make it harder to share the information….<\/p>\n
