Huh. I've always considered it impolite to leave links in comments. I thought it was one of those etiquette things that you didn't do. Maybe I'm also just paranoid about clicking on links in general.
However, since I seem to have your approval, I'll drop a new cooking channel I found that you might enjoy: Baking With Rick. It's mostly savory baking--flatbreads, rolls, etc.
In my blogging circle, the first person I saw express annoyance about leaving URLs instead of links was Jeff Hodges. People would repeatedly leave comments with URLs on his blog, and he'd politely explain how to create clickable links. I'm not as nice as Jeff, of course, hence this dickish post.
Is it rude to leave links? I don't know. I'd venture to say that it's rude if you're a spammer, but if you're a trusted commenter, then I don't see any problem. So thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
I tried not to make it too obvious. All links from here on out will be roll-free, scout's honor.
(As for the URLs versus links argument, I guess I'm just paranoid about links in general. No particular reason to be, especially with friends, but there you go.)
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE? Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
COMMENTS POLICY: My blog is my house; I'm responsible for keeping my dwelling clean. Commenters are guests, and guests of this blog will be civil, succinct, and relevant. All comments are subject to approval; I reserve the right to publish or not publish—in a pristine or altered form—all comments (and emails intended as comments) that I receive. Act like an asshole on my turf, and I'll make you look like the asshole you are. Be cool, and we won't have a problem. Simple, yes? And before I forget:
NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. Take responsibility for what you say. Screen names are OK, but no sock puppetry. Use the same SN consistently.

Visited despite the subtle clues and warnings. Har. Where's my Astley powder?

I'm guilty of this "sin". I don't really see the big deal though, cut and paste or click on a link. It's all the same to me.
I'd likely be less inclined to leave a link at all if I thought I might offend the proprietor.
I'm not offended, but let's just say that a link is much preferred.
