I appreciate it when people provide links to such previous submissions. Better that than the trend of people posting duplicate content.

I generally agree with you. However, in this case there were already several comments on this submission, but none on the other (original) submission. In this case, as I stated, there was no value being added by linking.

And with that said, I think I'm done with this meta-discussion. Thanks for playing…
