No, that's not the way it works.  We don't give a damn what some article says.
We can all find and read those.  We want to know what YOU think.  The way it
works is that you post exerpts from the article, give us what YOU think about
it and then wait for us to answer.  

As it is now, nobody here knows what you think about anything; nobody knows
what makes you tick - why you think and act the way you do.  All we see is you
posting a bunch of loopy articles and rambling about grays and other weird crap
- none of which has any relevance to what the rest of us are discussing.
