Better to post it to a standards-respecting system. One cannot rely on
such as Google to receive and post an article unmodified, even if they
do so at present. Also, it's getting tempting to kill-rule anything
posted /via/ Google.

I'd suggest asking the UK Committee, who are well-known to be standards-
respecting and collectively technically adept, what server they suggest.
It can do no harm.
