Earlier today I used external links in an article, but I didn't really like it. And I found myself doing something really bad -- but I caught myself.
I wrote something like...
In [http://www.whatever.com/ this article], so-and-so says such-and-such.
that's really bad because when the content is repurposed, that sentence will make no sense at all.
