Bob, to post a link in support of a point of view is just common sense.
But if you check closely, you will find that Charge has never posted a
point of view. He/she has only posted links to news stories many, if
not most, are already well aware of. So, as Dave pointed out, "One has
to wonder if" Charge is "capable of original thought, or is the posting
of news links the best" he/she "can do."

I will now support my earlier point of view that "Besides, it's against
News Group policy to post such links."  with a link to verify same.
Official Rules for posting to Usenet state: "Don't post announcements
regarding major news events (e.g. the space
shuttle has just exploded!) to news groups.  By the time most people
receive such items, they will long since have been informed by
conventional media.  If you wish to discuss such an event on the net,
use the "misc.headlines" newsgroup." See for yourself:
