When I go to FAOL to browse and post on the bulletin board, I liken it to sitting around a pickle barrel with a pot belly stove heating the inside of a fly fishing shop. When someone sitting around that pickle barrel asks for help with something I offer whatever information comes to mind. If that includes a link to some valid information then so be it. I don't ask the fly shop proprietor first if he has anything that might help. Yes, I offer links to information. Why? Because a friend who fishes wants to know.
Sorry, I guess I took your post too personally. No rant intended.
