Oh, I illustrate points with mine. But if you consider, for example, this Prickly Pear Cactus discussion – I didn’t start it, nor did I bring up the cochineal bugs, but given that the discussion was there, and went in that direction, I do not see anything wrong with making the connection to an observation of mine that was relevant.
And I have gotten IDs in the way you mentioned. How else to explain that they occur within a day or two after my participation in a discussion?
There you go. And I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those IDs come from the same people who would complain about it in this thread.
