Using this link also diverts hits away from a site that is merely aggregating stories, not actually writing them (Yahoo!).

7:07 PM EDT 		Yes, I recognize that. I believe my point to be evident: It is preferable to read direct articles - when they are available - via the LXer aggregator, versus using this aggregator to read articles from another aggregator. I've made the same oversight when posting stuff to LXer, so it's not a condemnation - just a mention.

I would also rather see a pro-Windows site like PC World get hits from LXer instead of Yahoo getting traffic. Perhaps I'm alone here.

OK, I did, I got the download link, received the file, clicked it and nothing happened. I guess it's working...
