One very very prolific poster of OP's in LBN told me that he used to include an archive link, but got so much static about it that he stopped doing it (generic he, I just can't get the hang of using "they" as a singular pronoun, unless it's the person's preferred pronoun, in which case I'm 100% on board with that).

Another annoying thing - people who post gift links, the Washington Post being an example, and while I appreciate the thought, what they often don't know is that people have to establish a free account with the WaPo in order to read the gift-linked article. And the first thing it asks in the registration process is, gimme your email. Do I really want Bezos and whoever else he sells it to spamming me?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
