I suggest a little caution in swallowing whole the posts elsewhere. Let's not turn this board into a mere re-posting board of the other site. slcImmuno has given permission for his stuff to be re-posted here because it saves him the trouble of having to re-post. However, there are many dubious posters over there who are claiming scientific or business knowledge, and they are inaccurate at best and deliberately deceptive at worst.
Good things to re-post would include things that are likely to get deleted there, like funny responses to stupid or dishonest posts, or evidence of someone multi-identity posting, or particularly heinous bashing etc. If someone you're not SURE about as being a reliable poster posts something (like the Dr. Jerry post), it would be better to briefly summarize it and post a link. Unfortunately they get ad revenue when people go over there, but if too much stuff is re-posted here, it could lead to copyright claims. A case can be made that it's fair use if it isn't done all the time.
