This sort of thing is why I have the tag 'comment' — I use it to mark things that are people commmenting on a given thing, as a way of saying "This is one person's opinions, not something I'm linking to say 'This is how this situation really is'.

Of course, I have no idea if people reading my linkposts get that, or have no idea.
