Regarding posts with only a thread title and a naked uncommented link in the message text: [View all]

I usually skip the link and sometimes trash the thread depending on forum and link url. I just don't find click pan handling attractive. A naked link (no comment,explanation, discussion or observation) does nothing to motivate me to click it. At least offer me a tidbit of information in return for clicking your link.... especially if it links to your personal blog.
