one of the undesirable consequences though, is that if i’m sharing an article from someone who i know is reputable (but on a topic i know nothing about), it’s highly unlikely that i’ll have anything useful to add when other people make comments… and that can sometimes be the difference between a thread that dies and one that thrives.
its much better if someone competent in the subject matter is the one to post the article.
