Am I the only one that's irritated when someone posts a few words and a link to click on...sometimes it's just the link? :mad:

Sorry Kingfisher I don't mean to be rude just voicing my opinion. :)

Can't say that it irritates me but unless it sounds really interesting I won't bother clicking on the link.

Ditto..unles of course they mention Rock - paper or scissors in the thread title :D

3....2.....1.......Paper

The purpose is to let the website tell the story, not me. I am not a journalist. I just thought the story was interesting, especially considering its just past the 20th anniversary of the other big FBI shootout in Miami.

Obviously not...or you wouldn't have been able to resist putting the whole article into your own words. :p

All I am saying is a little more background on the link would be nice. :)

Re: FBI Shootout In Florida
 

Yup.

Re: FBI Shootout In Florida
 

We had this discussion a while back, I don't recall the thread though.

Or a few questions, a funny/controversial/stupid comment etc. Basically anything to help get a discussion going and encourage people to add a comment.

Re: FBI Shootout In Florida
 

No it annoys me too :)

Re: FBI Shootout In Florida
 

Well that's titillating enough for me, arresting the *guards* .... apparently at least one of them didn't want to be arrested.

Re: FBI Shootout In Florida
 

Me too. If it's worth posting it's worth a few lines of comment/explanation.

It's just another example of the SPAM/junk mail era, IMHO. Cut and paste, cut and paste, cut and paste. No originality, all cut and paste.

It wasn't a dedicated thread I think it was in response to a link posted by Vegas.

it doesn't normally bug me, but it is at the moment because every time I try to click a link my pc crashes (either on here or in emails - like the BE new post on a thread emails), . Grrr..... :mad:

guess I'm going to be spending a while backing up, just in case its something serious. Can't really complain though - I'm currently working on an IBM thinkpad that my wife "retained" from a job a couple of years ago - they asked her to, so she could help with handover to new guy if necessary, and she kept calling to ask if they wanted it back, and they never replied. c'est la vie :) Looks like I need to get my hand in my pocket and buy something a bit more up to date.....assume it won't be as pricey as the last pc I bought - an HP Brio with a Pentium iii 5000mhz processor - that was pretty good in 1999! and it needed to be for the rather hefty price tag of $2600 (that was in Singapore $, but I think it was pretty much 1:1 at the time..... :eek: :eek: )
