To all those posting ONLY a link to a story.........

[Ponce]

Usually when you post only the link you will get less readers than if you were to give everyone a hint about the story in the link.........a teaser?

Now me? that's another story........I post the story and sometimes I forget the link.

Also sometimes the original article disappears after a while, so someone browsing the forums days, weeks, months, or years later won't be able to read the article. Your post essentially "expires".

Good point. It is very hard to trust a website link without quoting part of what the story is about. People want to know what they are getting into before they click on a website link.

If someone doesn't want to click on a link that's entirely up to them.

So you found a nice story. The internet is full of nice stories. I don't want another nice story, I want your reaction to the story you found.

I also want you to clear out the goofy formatting, insert paragraphs breaks if the original didn't have them, and generally get it ready to read. If you don't care enough to post something readable, I don't care enough to read it. It's just a waste of electrons.

If I were to post a link saying "This is Ponce" then out of curiosity you would probably click on it..................but.........I were to say on the message........Ponce is naked, I know that you sure as hell would not click on it........or would you ? hahahahahahahahah.

Saul? I also take out as much junk as I can before posting......I know that many appreciates that..............you better >:(
