Let’s just agree to disagree, I personally don’t like to be reliant on external sources when there is no good reason to not post the article directly.

I will not read every article.

That’s ok - but why would you then want to discuss an article you don’t want to read on the internet?

I read the comments to find out if it is worth reading. Also much of the time, the comments are more interesting than the article, so I just have a discussion in the comments with the headline and other comments as the jumping off point.

I get where you’re going here and I do the same as far as reading, but before I post I make it a point to actually read the article. Otherwise I may be forming and asking questions clearly already addressed or are completely divorced from the actual topic because I lack the articles context.
I feel it is part of the mutual respect with other posters to not waste their time asking questions already answered (in the article) or derailing the conversation because I don’t know what conversation I’m in.
