1. Link does not work. Links should be avoided in this forum unless absolutely necessary.

2. Sorry to hear that. I expect it's because it post was posted a long time ago.

Providing original links where possible, though, is DU policy, as I understand it, and they are pretty ubiquitous on this board, at least in the more serious threads. My Favourites folder is full of links from DU to fascinating articles.
