There are a couple of reasons why it's common courtesy to include a short description when posting nothing else but a hyperlink or video URL. I'm on a limited data plan and for most of the month 'enjoy' speeds reminiscent of dial-up days, so YouTube simply isn't happening. I'm sure I am not alone with limited connectivity issues. For those not so encumbered, many would just like a snapshot of the content before diving into a blind link; whether it's because the subject may not interest them or might even be objectionable.

Thank you.
