![]() Christi,
Thanks for asking for clarification. This is a Discussion Board. A place where people can come and Discuss things - in text. It is NOT an Article repository or article submitting place. And allowing such detracts from the value of the Personal answers you get to questions. Look at Ankesh's reply to you. It specifically answered your question. And did it well. On the other hand, whether you know the information or not, the article which was posted by Diana, was about as General as it gets. It didn't specifically answer what you asked. And if it answered anything you wanted to know that was only by sheer coincidence. Also consider... the article had a Copyright attached to it and then a link to somewhere. It was also Diana's first post here. That she did not take the time to address you personally and spend the time to answer your question, and just opted for the lazy generic copy&paste - including headline decorations to try to make it stand out more (which were removed) - signified it was done in this way just to get a link in. Links to websites from a discussion board are a Privilege given by the board owner and not a right. A privilege and thank you for those who take the time to contribute. It doesn't matter that someone May have found something new in the article. That was only a coincidence when the main reason it was posted was to get a link in. The Correct way is to Answer the question and Then, for your effort in doing so, leave a link where the reader can find out more if they want to. Michael Ross |

![]() Thank You Michael Ross. That explained it well.
But I am not real clear on 1 thing. Should I not be putting my link under my name when I ask or answer questions? I thought I was suppose to do that. There is just so much to learn it is hard to keep up with it all. Thanks for the help! (I know one day I will be able to answer questions on here. ![]() |

![]() Christi,
Thanks for asking for clarity. Legitimate questions and answers do earn the person the right to leave a link. But there are people who... will ask an inane question just so they can leave a link. And there are people who will fly in, paste some text and leave a link, never to be heard of again. In both cases, the person has not earned the link at all. There are also those who ask a question under a fake name, then come back later and answer their own questions by using a different name. With said answer usually involving a link Those who moderate this board have seen it all and can spot it a mile off. Just Participate as a normal person would and you'll be fine. Michael Ross |
