No need Judy,  I'm going to unsubscribe Neal.  I've asked him repeatedly to not send links without context and commentary explaining relevance to this group repeatedly.

I urge Serge and Judy to not act.  I don't think anyone should be unsubscribed just for posting a link to an article or junk "study" without comment.  Isn't that censorship?  Aren't members of this list intelligent enough to read material and judge for themselves if it passes the B.S. test?   

I understand that it's tedious to see links to "junk" writing, but we're all free to delete posts we don't think are useful.

Junk studies and uninformed opinion pieces should be exposed to the light.  That gives us the opportunity to read them and point out their fatal flaws.  Isn't that the American way?

And it gives Neal and everyone else the opportunity to post links to articles and studies based on facts and evidence as well.

Just my opinion; I want to see everything.

My problem is not so much with junk links but the lack of context provided with the link by the poster.  We're all busy.  How about taking a minute to give readers something to go on to decide whether to bother to click?  Is that asking too much?

Neal is on moderation, indefinitely.  I have to approve his posts now before they go through.  I don't see how else to maintain a decent signal to noise ratio on this list.
