I don't know why you'd be scared to click the link.

If you put your mouse over the link, your status bar will show that the link isn't disguised as anything harmful.  It's just a link to Vimeo... and Vimeo is a pretty cool site.

If the OP made a link that said "click me!" and then you put your mouse over it and the link was holycrapthiswebsiteismalicious.com then I wouldn't have a problem with Jeff ranting more than he already has. Smiley

It is not a matter of being "scared" of a link. It is, however, a matter of common forum curtesy to explain what is behind the link and why you are posting it, i.e., why should we waste our time checking it.

If Jeff or Michael posted the same, I would not hesitate to click on it. Why? Those guys already have their reputation established, I know them well and trust their judgment. The same goes for several other forum members that I know and respect.

It is a completely different story when an unknown member (to me, at least) does the same. It is simply presumptuous to assume that he has such reputation and credibility as to invoke unquestionable following of his instructions. And presumption irritates.

OK, I think we're done here, hypocrites and all.
