Oh good grief. This our side, their side stuff is perhaps one of the problems of this site (and the country as a whole). If you do not like what someone has posted as threads, start your own instead of complaining about their side. If I were under some obligation to post X number of articles a day, I would be inclined to do it all at once as well just to be done with it. I personally have been looking for articles to post here that interest me that might spur discussions but the ones I find I don't think anybody else would be interested in based on the atmosphere at the site.
As for the question in the OP, I personally don't care, but suspect that if it becomes a "Only upon request" that will create more political gripes between the our side/their side's
