*The tradition is to maybe put the first paragraph of the linked article with link aftwwards. Also sometimes the juiciest paragrpah does it .

We won’t ban you for just linking but its been the tradition on many boards covering property to do as I have edited above, and its just plain more informative it, looks better and helps people refer back to the link at a later date :wink: Alwasy incllude the link of course!
