Yes it costs you no money, but it costs you time, privacy etc. > You have the choice. So, don't worry too much ! But not an informed choice. For all we know it could be something obscure. Links without comment will have one of four effects on people: 1) Click on the link, register, XYZ is good. (+1 oscar rules) 2) Why is this Oscar guy posting links without commenrts ? (delete, +2 ignore oscar posts) 3) Click on the link, register, don't care about XYZ (+ 10 ignore oscar posts and/or flame) 4) See that the link is nytimes, don't bother but find out later that it would have been nice to know earlier (+1 oscar sux) It is generally polite to post some sort of summary of the link. "interesting" is too vague/subjective a term "funny" is borderline, but generally OT (off topic) for this list. e.g. for your article: Linus leaves Transmeta to work on Kernel Full-Time. http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-tech-linux.html For things like NYtimes it is polite to add (free registration required yada yada). Also maybe some/all of the article depending on your understanding/respect of copyright laws. cheers, Woody > > > On Wed, 18 Jun 2003, Oscar Plameras wrote: > > > > > > > > > There's no point in posting things from the NYTimes, because it requires > > registration to get in.
