Please, as much as we have a right to hold differing opinions, we can also not hold an opinion if we so wish. I don't see what the issue is with providing links to items and not saying anything about it. Sometimes there isn't anything to say about something. And sometimes people share things because someone may find it interesting or of use. People do it all the time on forums, social networking sites. Sometimes in real life you talk to people and you share something you thought might be interesting to others but get no interest in the topic. Is it such a big deal?
I looked at the new model article, read it and thought "oh okay". That's it. What's the problem. Person who wrote it probably thought that it might interest someone, maybe it did maybe it didn't, who knows, maybe it'll go down as an I solved mystery. Was there a need to come across antagonistic?
