As someone who is never, unless there's an outage, offline, and who uses threadsuck daily to catch up, it's really frustrating to not have a link back.
Edited to add: just user feedback, sorry if it sounds bitchy.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I often read threadsucks online to follow links that people post. I think people would use all the toolbar links at the bottom. Those who suck one thread at a time would click Message Center, those who catch up by searching for their name would click Recent, those who read Bitches and then everything else would click Read New.

Yes, I agree. And I don't see anything especially egregious about having a few links in a page to be read offline, to be honest!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I dunno, Angus, I'm pretty egregied.

I agree with Jon's general decision to leave out all the links for post numbers and usernames and stuff, though.

Yeah, it's just navigation back to home that I want, really.

I've been wanting one of these for AGES, but been too lazy to speak up about it.

You want I should add a link, ita? It shouldn't take me more than 15 minutes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We should probably have a vote.
Wait, no, the cold has gone to my brain.
Sure.
