Do you ever click on bare links?
"Here's a good song!"

"This is funny!"

"Good story!"

"Must see!"

I guess I miss out on a lot.

Tell me the name of the song. Or why is it funny? Why is it a good story? Why is it a "must see?" Tell me something.

Is that too much to ask? Am I just cranky?

1. No. Even though my connection is fast enough that windows load very quickly,
I don't bother to click a link on a mere unsupported word that "this is kewl!!11!"

If that makes us cranky, then so be it.

4. Very, very seldom.
If a fair number of people have posted about it and think whatever the link is to is worth talking about I might click to see what the fuss is. Otherwise, I leave it alone.

27. Perfect!
I love to machine parts. I've designed and made a compressor unloader, a spur- and bevel- and helical- gear and an acme thread.

34. Anything foreign I usually use IE so that the anti-phishing thing can do its thing
But anything "youtube!" usually gets a free pass.

36. So, what is the name of the song? Or the jist of the story with the link?
That's all I ask.

Is that too much to ask?

If so, then fuck it. You don't have time to tell me what it is, then I don't have time to click there. My loss?? Oh well.

37. I was joking on that post.
I normally say something about it in the subject or the body.

That link, by the way, is harmonic singing by David Hykes. Very atmospheric stuff :)
