Derek's position is that one should provide some background information or a short blurb about a link they're posting in their email. This is entirely resonable. To attack him for this position is, well, unreasonable. As for hints on how to do this easily without breaking the flow of your messages, it's become common practise in some circles to use footnotes in your email. For example: "If you're really interested in getting involved in Fedora[1] then check out their website. There is also great information to be had on the official message boards[2]. [1] http://fedora.redhat.com/ [2] http://fedoraforum.org/"; That's a pretty simple way one can include links in their emails while enforcing the idea that links to information should come with some description of the information they're linked to. -- Chris "`The enemy we fight has no respect for human life or human rights. They don't deserve our sympathy,' he said. `But this isn't about who they are. This is about who we are. These are the values that distinguish us from our enemies.' - Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona
