Link Question

Sorry if this has been answered, but I have had hardly any sleep today because a friend of mine died in a skydiving accident yesterday.

What I want to know is, is it okay with y’all if I post a link to this thread

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5055883#post5055883

on my hometown message board if I give proper attribution?

Broomstick and a few others said some very important things on the subject that I would like my hometown friends to read?

Sorry this is so short notice. I probably should have contacted a mod, but I’m in a rush trying to get to work…

Sorry

Quasi, first let me express my sympathy on your friend’s death and your grief. Second, IANAMod, obviously, but it’s my distinct impression that the only objections this board has to the posting of links are (1) where it will cause an interboard war, or seems likely to, and (2) links that will cause severe strain on the server are discouraged. Don’t assume I have the Straight Dope on this, but I’m fairly sure that that answer is accurate, pending a Mod. seeing and confirming or correcting this.

Thanks Polycarp, for answering me. I went ahead and e-mailed tubadive, but haven’t heard anything as of yet. I posted the link to here. if I’m in trouble over it, I guess I’ll find out soon enough.

TubaDiva, my dear, but that’ s okay.

And there’s no problem with this.

I didn’t see your posting nor your request earlier, as I was spending the weekend at Barber Raceway in Leeds . . . so I do understand so much, on so many levels.

I’m sorry you have lost a friend. It is cold consolation knowing he was doing that which he loved best, the thing that made life worth living.

I’m sorry I misspellled your name, TubaDiva. I’m kinda sleep deprived right now. Thanks for saying it’s okay.
