I don't really have a problem with people following or not following links, but I'm not sure why people feel compelled to tell 1400 other blind people that they're not following a link. If you want to follow it then follow it and if you don't then hit the delete key.

For me, the fact that it's a link to Blind Bargains is enough information for me. Here are the first few words of the article on this page:

Earlier today, RS Games announced on Twitter that there is now an iOS version of its service available. The app, was developed with Kid Friendly Software features many of the gestures and voice settings found in the conventional Blindfold series of games.
While the app is free, not all games are free to play.

Please follow the link for more information.

IMHO, we can't control how much information someone includes in their post, and there's more than enough information out there to keep me busy, so hitting delete on a message isn't a problem for me. I think it's the responsibility of the poster to make their message readable, which would include things like spell checking, using a good subject line, not hijacking another thread, including some information about a link, proof reading, and so on, but if someone doesn't want to do this then I don't feel compelled to read or comment on anyone's post.

A little more information would be appreciated. This tells nothing about
what this could be.

I haven't seen this out here yet, so I figured I'd post it. If someone
already did, I apologize. http://blindbargains.com/bargains.php?m=15622
