I’ll admit it’s a little scummy to take the link directly from your post and put it here, but:
- It’s not yours. You didn’t write it, you don’t hold the rights to it and anyone can find it with a quick google search.
- Even if it was yours, I get nothing from posting it here. I’m not making any profit from it. I’m not even getting internet points by posting it. You can’t even like individual comments on Numista, only the whole thread, which was created by someone else.
- Why are so angry over it? Firstly, I already deleted it, secondly, as I said it’s not yours, and thirdly, it promotes the wrong kind of mentality on this website. If I find a link that I think could be useful for other people, I share it! They can copy it all they want! Hell, they can even copy images I took and entire posts I wrote! If they monetise them somehow without my knowledge or permission or start claiming that it’s their original work, then we may have a problem. But that doesn’t apply to links. Links are owned by the owners of the website it directs one to. If someone copies a link to some random website that I found and start monetising it, it’s the website’s problem, not mine.
You said: ‘Spin it any way you want. It’s not right’.
So it’s not right to share potentially useful knowledge? It doesn’t matter that the thread was solved ages ago, that link can still be useful for future reference. If replies could be liked/upvoted and I was like farming, that’s wrong. But you can’t like replies so there’s no point. If I was like farming I might as well create a whole new thread instead of reviving an old one.
Either way, you don’t sound like the type to be convinced. The post has already been deleted. Let’s try and resolve this peacefully.
