    I agree but on that same note you can't expect someone who is visiting a site for the first time to spend tons of time trying to figure out what is going on, where to find things and if it the same question has been posted and answered within the last 10 years without simplifying things. It's how folks respond to those questions that either keep people coming back or send them packing. You can't expect everyone to know how this site works right off the bat...I'm sure you didn't make a study guide of the FAQ before posting or reading a few posts. As for the post not adding anything...so what? There are PLENTY of posts here that add nothing to a conversation or discussion.

    In the end, this is Max's site and if HE feels that adding a SHARE link is a good thing, then that's his decision. If you don't like it, you (and others) are surely free to go start your own websites to run as you desire.

I have no idea how long the Share button has been up but has it created any problems yet? Just asking........
