I think it depends on if you are already aware of the existence and purpose
of the hackaday web site. Having had one of my projects published there I am
aware of the site and wouldn't hesitate to click that link. On the other
hand, if I wasn't aware of the hackaday site I might think differently, the
word "hackaday" also has unsavoury connotations to some, so an explanation
would have been helpful...
.. lastly the latest bunch of malware I have seen post realistic looking
documents with real phone numbers from real people, horrible....

Top posting because....
It takes two (at least) to start it, and you certainly played your part.
While it is not "forbidden" to just post a URL without any explanation, it
would
be a good idea to include something with it so that we
know if we want to
click
on it or not. Otherwise, it's going to just be
skipped by a lot of people
that
might have had an interest but weren't interested
in going there blindly.
Regardless of if one agrees with fred or not, I think he stated his
concerns
without being rude. Let's keep the namecalling and
rudeness out of it.
Nuff said.

OK, initially, I was glad that you've never encountered it.
