    There are a couple of trolls on here who are not trying to help any one with their link.

    If you follow some of these links they lead to less than helpful sites.

    Some of them are for adult sites and others will infect your computer with a virus.

    I usually use links to verify the information I give and also to show it's not from Wiki. Most people don't want information from Wiki.

    I will occasionally post a link, especially if I think someone is trying to get others to do their homework. That way, I am helping, but not giving them the answer. Besides, why should anyone simply take my word for anything? Verify everything, my dear. There are liars online, ya know.
