[ExI] META: Regarding "Die for Gaia, save the planet?"

[Lee Corbin]

Stephano---instead of just providing a link---in addition
took the time to cut and paste the whole article.

But not so convenient, at least for me and I think others.
My browser is already full of some other story I'm reading,
as well as rather too many tabs I use to remind me of one
thing or another, and so it is nice that the information for
this post is self-contained.  A great courtesy;  and I can
tell at a glance---when the text, like here, is included---whether
I want to continue reading.

Well, nothing really----but it's very thoughtful when people
like Stephano take the effort.  BESIDES:

Besides, it definitely will happen that people will just start
reading, it if it's right there in front of them, but will think
twice if they have to click on a link. So one does increase
his readership this way.
