Note that this is my opinion as a member, not as an administrator or this site, and by no means is meant to represent a policy change....
In the past, I am sure I have posted some links to other threads or articles on the interent that I thought would be of interest to other members. I hope that I have given people a clear idea of what they were going to see and offered some personal comment on its content and my opinion of it.
Starting a couple months ago I have noticed a dramatic increase is posts that look like this:
********************
Subject: Oh, No! Yadda Yadda Bill 45x.4 ..Again..check it out!!
Look at This:

******************
Personally, I think I follow about 5% of them.. even if I am interested in the subject line...
I would really like to hear what other members have to offer, not just show and see a bunch of links.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the info and I know that others do as well.. but often raw materail is available elsewhere.. I enjoy a good commentary or essay from the members here.
Also, some of those links to articles and such will run out.. 4 months from now when someone runs a search for "bill 45x.1" all they are going to find in the thread is an expired links. It would be nice if the poster could sum up what is going to be found there, and possibly offer an opinion if appropriate.
I hope this has not offended anyone, it certainly wasn't meant to.
