Can everyone please, when you post a link to whatever, please please put a couple sentences of summary with it?

This post is linked to an example of what I’m talking about.

It can be your words, or theirs, just enough for us folk who cruise on a phone and are data-limited, or even desktop, laptop, or tablet users on our own wi-fi.

Just give us a hint. NO. Tell us what the link goes to and a brief summary. That’s it.

We can’t, and won’t, click on every spurious link posted with no information.

For those that just throw out a link, I don’t click on those.

If you posted just a link to the Tomb of Jesus-Shroud of Turin-Rothschild’s family lineage-Bohemian Grove-Illuminati, I didn’t and won’t click.

Give the readers a break.

I’m getting very irritated with FReeQs who just drop a link with no explanation.

This is a research board. If you just drop a link with no explanation, almost no one will click. If you want to put the dogs on the trail, you have to put a little kibble out.

OK, My kibble for the Twitters, are that they are real verified Tweets from President Donald Trump.

One of them NUKES Joe Biden on the Ukraine scandal (over 6 million views today) and the other quotes all the leading Dems, about how PEACH MINT is BADWRONG, when Clinton was getting impeached.

I agree and well said. I have laptop, not phone but time is very limited.

“ I’m getting very irritated with FReeQs who just drop a link with no explanation.”

Agreed. We need to give context to what we are saying, otherwise it gets passed on by.

Part of the problem is the software honestly. It’s easy to use but harder to follow than some others where individual threads are stacked together.

sometimes the actual link describes what’s in it - like here:
https://www.rcfp.org/murthas-immunity-claim-upheld-defamation-suit/

I aint sayin, I’m just sayin
