Say wha

Hey, maybe if I spelled "plain text" correctly, the problem would be
solved--sorry!

Mark, I may well know of the essay you say you alluded to, but how can
I tell if you don't say even what that essay is, much less where it
came from? What is the "could not post" about a citation? You say you
want to be informative: I applaud that as far as it goes and deplore
how short the actuality  often falls.

Twitter posts are annoying when they don't actually inform. As I've
pointed out repeatedly, subject lines don't appear in digests anymore.
I hope you'll care enough about what you say you want to accomplish to
provide some clear context rather than get sore, take your marbles and
go home. And when you post a Facebook link, can't you include a
comment or description--enough of a pointer so that people who avoid
social media can search for other ways to get the image or whatever?
Isn't it easy enough to say "Here's an image of the cover of the
Italian Bleeding Edge"? In that case, I'd be grateful for having
learned something interesting (and not at all periferal); otherwise,
the post is just a frustrating taunt.

John
