Indeed-- in fact I'm sure that somewhere buried in the archives is a thread on posting etiquette. Nothing is more annoying than the post that is made up of a simple, declarative statement, and then followed up with a dozen or so links-- links which may or may not be related to the statement, and which may contain contradictory information-- all without further comment.
Better is to stick to a narrow goal and presenting your argument for or against it. The posting of links then supplements your argument. Ideally, you'd quote important passages from the linked pages to be more direct and to the point.
In Kilik's case, it would be best if he made some coherent argument-- e.g. "Qi is such-and-such" and then start from there.
But alas, when one has to wade through things like this, it's hard to understand what's going on, let alone engage in some sort of discussion about it. |
