How To Comment/Respond
ADDED FEB. 12, 2011: We’re pleased that readers take the time to comment on PP Blog posts and to reply to comments from other readers.
The PP Blog uses a WordPress plug-in known as “Quote Comments.” The software places the word “Quote” in red type below individual comments. If you’d like to respond to a reader’s comment, select and highlight the passage of text. Press the “Quote” prompt, and the highlighted passage will appear in the reply box.
Because the PP Blog uses iCopyright protection software, a prompt will appear if you copy more than 50 words when using the “Quote Comments” function. This prompt will ask you if you want to obtain a license. Please click on the “Quit asking me” button, recopy the passage and press the “Quote” prompt again. This will enable you to copy more than 50 words when responding to a reader’s post.
The iCopyright protection we employ is designed to guard against large sections of the Blog’s stories being copied, posted on other sites or used in ways that undermine the value of intellectual property. If you intend to use the PP Blog’s content elsewhere, you must acquire a license. Several options are available, and each story provides links or prompts that show the reuse options.
Theft of content and copyright infringement are big problems on the Internet. Please support the craft of writing by honoring copyrights.
Thank you.

To would-be poster “Stacy”:
I am not publishing your would-be comments about the Patrick Cody Morgan case in this thread.
I’ll review the comments and consider them for publication if you post them in either of these two threads:

The first time you tried to post a comment in this thread, well, it purported to be in response to a comment by a PP Blog reader nearly two years ago. That comment had nothing whatsoever to do with Patrick Cody Morgan. I treat such efforts as spam.
Regardless, you’ve now returned to this thread, insisting I publish links you’ve spammed and that this Blog tell the “WHOLE story.”
It’s simple: If you want to post about the bum rap you appear to believe Patrick Cody Morgan is getting, do so in the appropriate thread. Don’t try to turn the top of this Blog into a link farm for your spam.

Hello,
My name is Dar and i am a journalist in Israel (at the Kolbotek Tv program).
Kolbotek is the main invesigative Tv program at the Israeli channel 10 (a commercial broadcasting television channel).
We are investigating the story of the Principality of New Utopia.
We will appriciate your urgent help:
As we saw, you have published in the past lots of information about the scam of New Utopia. Recently we got an info that one Israeli guy was involved in the “so called” principality of NU.
I would kindly ask for your help with referring me to the sources and/or people who gave you the info regarding New Utopia and may help us too.
Thanks alot.
With kind regards,

Hello Dar,
The public information the PP Blog has on New Utopia is available in the archives. You’ll find the search function near the upper-right corner. Simply type in “New Utopia” — without the quotes.
As a brief update, “Prince” Lazarus Long reportedly has passed away.
One of my memories about covering events related to New Utopia was a message I received from the purported “Protector” of the nonexistent, undersea nation.
You’ll find that story here:

New Utopia would make a fine story for Channel 10.
Thank you for your note.
Patrick
