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. -- Mike Easter

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 ". >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.
