Hi Sydni,

The discussion is a wonderful thing, I just wish you'd used an excerpt (with a link back to the original post) and added your own thoughts. I make a portion of my living as a freelance blogger, and part of how I get paid is via traffic. When folks take my content in full without permission, it's taking those clicks away, which feels a little like stealing, you know what I mean?

I'm all for discussion, and I'm happy to see folks getting the word out about Monsanto. You can leave the post as-is, if you like. If you want to use things I've written in the future, though, I'd greatly appreciate you taking an excerpt or two instead of the entire thing. Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Becky
