Its so much easier too if direct links to articles are shared rather than a forwarded Email as we can get directly to the article without having to wade through heaps of junk text as I call it to get to the article itself. In my view by all means comment on the article you’ve read and tell the list what you think of the article, review or whatever it is as this starts discussion and debate. If anyone is unsure on how to send links in an Email message then I’m sure there are plenty here who can offer practical advice and tips on how its done and believe me, once you start sending direct links to articles you’ll wonder why you didn’t consider doing it before as it will save so much time sending a link rather than having to forward an Email.
