The Don't Ping Me Club is growing. Spamming seems to be the method of choice for those we're trying to avoid.
On the matter of "spamming:"
What is one to do, when bringing specific information to the table, but to post the information, along with the links?
I'll agree that sometimes people are indiscriminate in this regard, and perhaps I've been guilty of that myself. Generally, what I've tried to do, is to be focused in posting such material by way of excerpts, highlighting, and concurrent commentary.
Is that something you find to be a problem, as a matter of practice?
