"Spoon-feeding?" Saying WTF the product is isn't spoon-feeding. Expecting people to run around and do Web searches (or even roam around other pages at the domain) because posters are too lazy to add three descriptive words is douchey as hell, and way too often accepted (and even actively promoted) here.

"I much prefer that to a self-aggrandising comment essentially stating 'I'm better than them because I wouldn't post something like that'"

I don't see anyone saying that. What I said was, why waste our time with empty blather masquerading as a how-to?

One. Single. Click.

Two if you go via one of the menus not clicking the main logo.

As far as the writer is concerned, if you are looking at the blog you are already interested and know what you are looking at. Is it their fault that someone deep-ish linked without providing extra context for you?

You could have just moved on and read something else, accepting that not everything is written for everyone, and not wasted more time moaning about it…
