Say thou, "barbecue," if thou be not a spy.

First of all, you keep making your links invisible and being surprised when people don't notice them. Stop it

They are not INVISIBLE, just compact; I thought that was what people wanted from me?

View original postSecond of all, most people aren't going to even consider clicking a link if they don't know what it is. It's bad form to make an incoherent post and expect people to click the link to find out what you're talking about. Yes, that used to be de rigueur at wotmania, but we were a lot younger and dumber then

Or at least more naïve...In this case the link title gives it away at least, but that just takes us back to my first point.

Yes, exactly: One need not even click the link, because just scrolling over it is enough to (mostly) clarify. Anyway, where is the fun if I spell out everything explicitly in the OP? Where is your sense of adventure, of inquisitiveness, of unwittingly downloading viruses?
