Jes a thought about posts

Post by mikld »

I've noticed an increase in annoying posts/thread leaders. One sentence then a link to a youtube video. I know it's not a huge deal, but FWIW, I just back out when and never go to the video when I happen on one of these threads. No need to school me on forum etiquette, just my opinion... :)

Yeah... Life is so much more simple when one avoids the unknown and finally makes a stand on their one pet peeve.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Those posts don't bother me, but I won't necessarily click on the 'link' either. It depends on who posted it and a comment or two (rather than a naked link) helps reassure that it wasn't some sort of spam-bot-phishing thing.

Although I may not be interested in the content of the link I find it interesting to see what others find so interesting.
One of the great things about levergunners is that we have a diversity of interests........ :wink:

OK guys, I opened my self up for all yer comments and I accept them humbly. But I'm not, by no means avoiding the unknown, I just find it annoying to post links with no more information than a quick "watch this". I can't remember the last one I followed (except I will blindly follow Blain's suggestions/links as I know he is an honorable man with only good intentions for his fellow man. I did manage to say that with a straight face! :lol: ). There's 3 1/2 threads like this in the last 2 or 3 days...

You may now continue to tease/torment/mock me...

Hey Doc...which one did you give him? I sent him a well used "Greek style" one last year and he got so excited about it he told me he was driving up North to "drive down the Hershey Highway".----6

I understand what you mean. People have to make the effort to sell it if they want me to look at a link or video. Cause theres a great deal of stuff in the world I am not interested in, and I am here to participate in a leverguns forum.
And frankly, when I look at a post, I am looking to see what the person has to say. I didn't open it, to get redirected to what someone else did that's not on a leverguns forum...
I suppose I think its mildly impolite.
A person who carries a cat home by the tail, will receive information that will always be useful to them.

That's why I tend to copy the material, and provide the link as a resource to anyone interested in going to the source.

I find myself often, with such limited time, checking in here when I have less than a fast connection (like now, on a plane). Videos won't feed. :(

Such is life...
