I almost always post the link to my posts or reference the author and/or source and believe that is generally accepted proper way of posting. I didn't in this case in attempt to focus on the meaning and message and try to give the original source just a tiny bit more power.
These days, where valid news sources have been claimed and made to believe that they are the "enemy of the people" and reject those sources, the real "truth" (not the "alternatives" masquerading as the truth). In reality the valid news sources are the enemy of who is waging the "information war" against that reality. Meaning their enemy is really our friend.
I also knew that it was a just a matter of a few clicks to get that source (highlight heading or subject, right mouse button, search on the heading for example). Most times, one might read the posting, but never click on the source link and only one time viewing the post.
Advertising 101, it takes multiple times of looking at something to make a greater impact. This is due that there is greater actual indent upon the human brain the more times something is projected upon it or the more intensely something is addressed. Why people like tfg or Putin and their enablers just repeat, repeat, and more repeat of all the lies they spew (hence the information wars).
It would also double, triple, etc the amount of "clicks" or views to the original source giving it just a little more effective power.
Now I can't even compete or have even a minuscule effect against the information war machine that prevails currently by a few postings on Ihub, but hopefully in some tiny way, it was better than doing nothing in only this instance.
