This outside text also uses up bandwidth for nothing.

I also think, that on any forum it is more important that you the member's originality is far more valuable than anyone's work or material outside of the forum. At least I get to know you as a member on some kind of a personable level. It's difficult to do that with material that comes from elsewhere, gets posted by someone, and we have no idea who wrote it because we don't know them in the first place. I will also not get a chance to know in the first hand.

A link should just be considered like a footnote for reference. If others are interested they can go directly to that site and have an eye full. Another thing to consider is that what you treasure may seem like junk to someone else. At least it is not in their face when you post a link. This also helps the quality of the forum to become more valuable. I'll take that any day over quantity. We forget that a forum is not a website. The idea of a forum is to discuss issues and hopefully prove things out.

I concur! You Go Karen!
