A pet peeve of mine is when when folks only post a link ( or an address ), and nothing more. No cut paste of say, the first paragraph, to give us any idea as to what the link is to, or commentary, by the poster. 'Tis a minor peeve, but still...just irks me a bit.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

Yeah.....

What's better though?

posting a link and a leading title like this thread, or quoting every word for word and making an, I kid you not, 25 page Adobe PDF like Niki makes?

Equally annoying in my book.....

Flip sides of the same coin, imo.

I usually make a humourous or intriguing comment about the contents of the articles. I figure if people have to go to the link anyway, it does no good to have to rehash what they're already going to read.

Maybe treat postings w/ links as trailers, and for those who want to see the full episode, or movie, go click the link and see for yourself if you like, dislike, the full content ?

Since the new site came on line I, for some reason I have'nt been able to figure out yet, have not been able to post links that are "clickable" (the hints in the sidebar dont work for me), so I dont attempt to post more than the header. Sorry about that, if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I'll do more.

Add an empty "spacebar" after the link.

You wanker! Lol
