I have asked agents NOT to put up a post with ONLY a link in it many times. Usually I will send an email to the agent, but I have also posted this request as a response to an agent who is posting ONLY links! I have also stated the many reasons why I and our readers DON'T like clicking on a message and finding only a link which has to be clicked again! Remember, some of our readers have slow computers and they have to wait for several minutes for a link to open! In the future, if you are thinking about posting ONLY a link, please don't post it! If you want to write the reason you think this link should be clicked... please do so. If you have a webpage and you have posted an article that you want Rumor Mill News readers to read, please give us enough of a taste for it that we will WANT to click through and read the rest of the article! But PLEASE, in the future, don't give us "pigs in a poke"... in other words, links that we have to open before we know what is in them!! Rayelan
