- ColinWright 13y agoIs there any particular reason why you didn't do the usual thing and submit the actual link, including your "descriptive" text in the actual article?
- bernieyoo 13y agoNo particular reason, just giving a 2-sentence context to why I posted the link.
- ColinWright 13y agoSeems particularly obvious given this audience. You do know that submissions without URLs are punished in the rankings, making it less likely to reach the front page, and hence less likely to get much attention, yes? It's also less likely to get readers, because it isn't a clickable link.
- bernieyoo 13y agoahh that would be because I"m an idiot. Thanks for the heads up.

- CrossWired 13y agoGood job dodging these guys. BTW, I'm an active client of yours and love what you have going.
- rajacombinator 13y agoWhy edit out their names? You should expose these morons so others don't waste time with them. Also your reply email was way too polite.
