17. 'Welcome'? Is this what you think constitutes a welcome?

He is putting something in to DU. He's posting very good satire. Obviously you like the quality of it, or you wouldn't be whining about the awful imposition of having to click on a link to read the end of it.

However, I think that to say that giving a link to ones website is "drawing traffic off DU" is absurd. Do you really think that an extra minute spent looking at another website is somehow going to hurt DU? Do you always avoid giving any links in all of your posts, in the hope that people reading DU will never leave the site?
