Pet peeve about posts on /. (Score 1)

I like Slashdot, I really do. However, it seems that a lot of articles are just introductions to something someone else wrote about altogether. You get a glimpse of what the article is about, then a link to it on another site. Then you follow this link on this poor tiny little server that gets flooded with thousands of http requests from Slashdot readers. The server gets knocked offline because the bandwidth consumption acts as a denial of service attack. Instead of just posting these links on Slashdot, perhaps you should get permition from the original site to link there first? Maybe even get permition to copy the article and post it here? Perhaps even be as nice as to get permission to copy the article, then host it on your own server instead? I am not trying to start a fight with anyone, I am just giving my humble opinions like everyone else does. I am not telling anyone to do anything at all except think about what I have said. Try to understand what the owner of that server is going through when they get Slashdotted.
