I don't find it pointless and annoying at all if the person in question actually made the point in a much more thorough way. playing the non-strongest version of arguments off against each other is a waste of everyone's time.
The problem is not including a link to said arguments.
There seems to be quite a bit of a Bitcoin interest around here, with several articles about it already: [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]
I propose that links and generic Bitcoin comments should be posted here, instead of making a new discussion thread for each interesting article about the subject.
