So why is it that you don't make links? I don't have a problem with it, I'm just curious.

He seems to be lazy. He has said in the past that he knows how, and he does in fact make HTML links once in while.

I only mentioned it because I've seen him provide addresses with no links several times in the last few days. I was curious as to why he doesn't make a link.

No he didn't. He posted a URL. An address not a link.

Pasting a URL and not linking it even though you know perfectly well how is a slap in the face to everyone on this board.
