I hardly ever try to post in LBN. I almost always mess up one way or another, lol.

As for this particular instance of posting a link without any excerpts from the article, it's not required, as I said. But I think most of us do it, no matter what forum we're posting in. I see it as a way to give people an idea of the content, to help them decide whether they want to click and read the whole thing or not. I also appreciate the additional info myself when others provide it. But I don't get offended if someone omits it, because it IS optional. All of which is to say that I don't think you have anything to apologize for, and I never meant to imply that.
