"NO LINK DUMPING ! DO NOT start a thread with only a link in it. A link should support a story that you want to discuss with your fellow members. If you have nothing to say about the story, if you do not quote the main story part, then just don't post at all. Whe should not have to click on a link to find out what you're talking about. Any thread/post with link dumping will be deleted without warning."

I checked to see if was already posted, but it was not.

I have to say that after reading this, I have a greater understanding, and fully support the attached story.

Yeah, how fucking hard is it to copy/paste the gist of the articles. Can't be much harder than copy/pasting the link. I also despise links that require you to subscribe to read the articles too.

The issue with links are the cookies and spam that at times are included for free.

My friend used to send me links to the local newspaper that required that. I told him to stop sending those links. I also hate links that will not open because I have cookie blocking. GARY.
