Darren Barefoot put words to something I’ve been thinking for a long time, and much more eloquently than I could have done. The only good thing about link list posts that I come across in my news reader is that I know I can safely ignore them, and I won’t be missing a thing. As Darren puts it, if you can’t be bothered to write something significant about the link you’re showing me, I can be sure that it’s of no interest to me anyway. So don’t bother.

The funny thing is that from what I understand, these list posts can be very popular, particularly if they are themed in some way. So obviously Darren and I are in the minority on this one. And since there’s no point putting out a plea for everyone to stop creating link lists, I’ll simply state that I’m not reading them. That’s all! :-)
