Chuck's hit it on the head here... I don't dislike the links; in fact, I like that may of us read the same things. What I don't like is just being sent a link.

Why did you send it?
What are your thoughts on the technology/news?
Do you have any further information on the topic?

I'm with Larry, I don't follow blind links too often. It's a Windows throwback.

See, there is this OS out there called Windows, and it gets these things called viruses (virii?). Well, one thing that a virus can do is send out a bunch of emails with a link to an infected server. Simply by viewing the website your Windows system can be infested. Why would anyone run this OS, you may be asking... well, see it comes free on PC's you buy. That's the only reason I can come up with. It's such a heap that they actually give it away. Then once they have you hooked, they release another version and charge you for an upgrade. Bait and switch; the only problem is the new bait is rotten too.

I just follow the links and learn! I haven't found a link yet that I haven't learned something one, I guess that just me. I don't like to have the blinders on and open to anything. Click, learn, get smarter is my thought.

Thanks,

I don't think Mike was saying not to post links. Rather I think he was asking people to add their thoughts and interests to the post so we have more of an idea about why the topic might be of interest...
