do you click on blind links?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

Poll question: do you click on blind links?

1. I find them annoying and indicitive of sloth.

5. +1

Okay I'm lying, that I "never" click on blind links -- most of them ARE. Let's make a DU rule about that.

2. Depends on the person who posted the link.

There are a handful that I would do so without hesitation, but they generally do not post blind links.

Now, the little blue links that totally hide the source, definitely not.

3. +1. I occasionally click them, but really only when I recognize the poster as someone

with a history of on-topic contribution, and the context makes clear what the link is. Other than that, I come here for discussion so I like to see the key points added to the thread with clearly-describe links to supporting info if needed.

(For the in-text links like this one to DU, you can hover over the link and the address will show up in the lower left. At least, it does in Firefox...)

4. Heh... didn't know that.

Thanks for the info!
