AIBU?

when people on MN don't bother to put two little square brackets either side to make a proper link?

It is now sooooooooooooo easy to put a link in that it really annoys me when people just put in the url!

Hmmm. I do links the old way.

Does this make me stupid, stuck in my ways or just plain dedicated?

And yes, YABU. Sometimes people just don't know how to

You could be seen to be reasonable if you started your thread title with a capital letter I suppose.

I still do links the old way insert word here because I've been doing it so long it's really easy.

Do you mean when people do this

www.mumsnet.com?

Yes, I think that's lazy. They should either do
www.mumsnet.com/SearchTalk?lastn=60&ntype=1&o=1183400476895

or actve conversations but I do think the latter is more elegant

so no, you are NOT being unreasonable imo
