What I was trying to get at, is a bit more information (the how & why this
link is interesting) should be added with 'just a link'. Sometimes it may
make sense to the poster why they shared the link with everyone; but to
the recipients the Subject line makes no sense at all.

The OLUG FAQ regarding the mailing list talks about this:

Just trying to stress quality posts, rather than quantity...
