Simple netiquette: Why not simply post the actual headline, thus not unnecessarily luring anyone to an external website?

You can post the link, too - so that if anyone actually wants to, they can view the original content, as well. Otherwise, it's only a cheap come-on, on the same, low level as many Yahoo! article headlines ("This Wall St. Insider Reveals Stunning Method to Double Your Money in 30 Days!" or "Obama Cried When He Saw This!")

Someone here is extremely irritable. Let's all try to maintain the high level of discourse upon which conservatives pride themselves!

Regards,

Thank you, Alex. That was all I was trying to say.

There must be a word for this kind of practice. Annoy-o-linking?

OK, OK, it’s cute. It’s cuter than a shoe box full of kittens. Ha ha. So WHY NOT let it carry its own merit if somebody complains? There may not be a micrometer fine enough to measure skin this thin.
