I see your point, and I think I have reacted a bit grumpily, but it was somewhat disheartening to, ten minutes after going and spending 5 minutes searching through my links and finding the appropriate one, check my threads and find that I've been downvoted to 0 (it was the case briefly) while you, who the links were directed to, replied with the direct link and got upvoted. That left a somewhat sour taste in my mouth. I'm not a big fan of blog-spamming either, and I can see how those particular links could be seen as such. Most of my links actually include some additional insight (and one of those did). It felt like a fair trade-off that I'll go and find almost ten high-quality answers to your question and in exchange get to at least post them with the link from the resource on which I collected and found them... Bah. I'll keep on sharing my links, but next time I'll tend towards just sharing the links which have additional insight, so I am less likely to be accused of blog-spamming.
