It will make things too easy: as it is we readers have to go off and do some homework and end up with a good deal of context and knowledge of the authors and documents you quote (without links) that we would be too lazy to do if you directed us to a source at Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-32333815918118561372016-03-03T23:18:29.366+00:002016-03-03T23:18:29.366+00:00Dear Fr,
