He is pasting from the link.

I applaud accompanying a link with pasting info which tells what the
link is about -- but there isn't an ideal 'format' by which to do that.

I've experimented with keeping my words separate from the words which
I've pasted from a link -- and/or with pasting the link immediately
followed by the pasting -- and/or pasting the link with additional
punctuation in the form of quote marks or double slashes to frame the
pasting -- and/or designations such as <q> </q> to open and close the quote.

Personally I think it adds too many keystrokes to have to markup the
quote -- but I would like to hear the opinion of others.

I definitely don't think much of the idea of people who paste a link
into a news message without telling enough 'story' of what it is about.
It seems that many people think that someone is going to click on a
link just because they pasted it somewhere. Personally I'm not going to
be clicking any links that doesn't have something about what is there to
pique my interest.

Do you have any evidence to back up that claim?

With me it's just years of experience with browsers. I find Chrome to
be very fast and very easy to use. No add-ons are needed. I assume
Bear has had a similar experience with browsers.

Disagree. It takes TWO extra keystokes.


One types a ", one then pastes, and one then closes the quote with
another ".
