"This" considered harmful? I've noticed that it's fairly common when linking to something, that the link is given a non-description. This seems prone to cause problems with link rot.

Should we consider links without description bad form? [more inside]

Maybe a little notice that closed threads are closed. I keep checking to make sure I'm logged in when I run into them.
