Pet Peeves

<soapbox>It really bothers me when web page writers do not link to the article they talk about. I read two different authors talk about the same article, and I have spent the last 2 hours tracking it down. It even exists in two different places. Since it’s so recent, though, it doesn’t show up on the search engines. Only now do I know what these two authors were really talking about, and only now can I really respond and take part in the conversation. By being lazy (or ignorant of how to write for the web), they have wasted two hours of my time. That’s almost as bad as setting an appointment with me and making me wait while you eat lunch somewhere else, then show up two hours late. It is rude and disrespectful. It’s the web, folks. It’s made for linking.</soapbox>
I would link to the culprits, or mention them by name, but that would only be hurtful.
