Default Here's why...

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
