It's my opinion that link-only posts contribute nothing to discussion

Earl, although what you say is commonly true, it is not the case with
Ira. I am sure you realize Ira's integrity after reading his posts
for so many years. And it is also blatantly obvious that this is not the
case when you go to his site. There are no ads, Adsense/Google is not
present, and there is no sales pitch. It is purely market postings and
Ira's thoughts.
I would suspect that if he posted this amount on the forum, he would get
blasted for "using the bandwidth". Besides, he could not post this amount
of material in an organized fashion on this newsgroup. I suspect he needs
the format he has chosen for continuity of his comments, which would be
lost in individual e-mails to this group.
Just my thoughts. Nothing is perfect for all.
