I'm being honest here when I say that it's so easy to overlook your posts these days because if it's filled with article links, I skip em. You think you're doing us a big favor by providing these links, but I get the feeling no one really cares anymore.

You're good people, Jon and I can stand you more than I can with several other GCers. But these links and pointing out when people miss these links? It's gotta stop.

I heard about American's decision to start charging for the first bag when I was driving home this afternoon and thought, "I hope my company didn't book my July flight with them." Got home and lucked out. But by the time I fly again in September everyone might be charging for first bag.

And texas*princess, I'll be pissed if they start charging for carryons.

Seriously. The links are ridiculous and out of control. Voice your own opinions and ideas instead of constantly posting snippets and links. No one reads the damn things. If you want to add something to a conversation/thread, say it yourself instead of the incessant spamming.

Lets turn this around on to you instead
You are free to to add your POV, as you have here, while I can add links to media sources.
Last time I checked, links to media sources are not considered spam;
unlike some of the other stuff, pictures included, I see posted here every so often.
And if you are going to bring it up, bring it up every-time someone posts links. or bring it up with the Mods rather than here.
BTB-Great way to hi-jack a thread.

Pictures are not spam.

If all someone does is post link after link after link, it does raise the suspicion that they may be a stealth marketer who's trying to increase traffic at certain sites.

eta since I apparently mortally offended jon1856 and he wants me to die in a fire now, I don't think he is a stealth marketer, but some random person coming upon this site and seeing a poster whose raison d'etre is apparently to post every link in the western world might think that.
