Does it?

Then, in my opinion, it does NOT work fine. I should be able to VIEW
anything non-confidential without logging in, though I expect to
possibly have to login to POST stuff. (And if something IS
confidential, but is also intended for me, then I should actually have
whatever login is needed to view it. Say, the login for my gmail
account.)

Furthermore, the link was posted as a response to one of my posts
here. This implies that the link is meant for me, and that I should be
able to read whatever's there (the actual meat of the response to my
post, presumably) with my existing access credentials.

Posting a reply to someone that consists solely of a link that, when
accessed by that someone, throws up an access denied message in their
face, is an equivalent act to sending them an encrypted reply for
which they don't have the key, or handing them a locked briefcase for
which they don't know the combination. So, kind of silly, and
ineffective at actually communicating with them since they can't read
your reply.

Hence my assumption that a mistake of some sort had been made. It
seems unlikely that someone would intentionally send me a reply I
can't actually read, so I figured they did not intend that effect, but
technical problems of some kind occurred or they simply misspelled the
URL.

Now I'm simply confused. What, exactly, was intended? And if there's
nothing actually private-to-me about the attempted communication and
someone here is prviy to its contents, perhaps they could simply
repost those contents here?
