It's always been my practice to post the whole article (if it's Usenet; on
message boards this is sometimes prohibited). It's a PITA when you have to
register to read the article and it's a PITA to use bugmenot. Lots of folks
will just skip the article, thus diminishing the utility of one's post.

On the occasions when I don't post a whole article I will provide a precis
of the article for the readers, it's simple common courtesy. Nothing bugs
me more than someone simply posting a URL without giving me a reason as to
why I should bother to click it on.
