Well on my part it was just a general request in respons to the umpteenth link dumped without further ado. And since not only the fool but also other people tend to dump links here (that on occasion even interest me) Adding the one or even two lines to include a short description with it is on my part a simple request for courtesy, it isn't mandatory and I didn't mean anything else by it. It's like this. If I don't get right away what the link is about, I'm absolutely not interested to find out. It takes time to follow a link, read what is on the page and then figure out what was meant. I simply don't have enough time to do that. As a matter of fact I don't even have time to reread and rewrite this message properly if I wanne finish all the tasks I set myself today.
