   while link dropping is not allowed, in this case providing a link to the guide to legal definitions and loan terms would have been Really helpful. I might well have clicked through to check it out. But you gave me no opportunity to do so ;(

      We can click the username and find the blogs. When we do that the member gets a view stat and if we click through to the blog the member gets a hit stat. If the member posts a link to a post on their blog or a blog link in the OP then they lose BC rank juice.

      huh. I didn't know that. I almost never post links in discussions, but would definitely included one here. (and my BC ranking is 81.9 at the moment, so I don't think I've sabotaged myself).
