But what if we're replying to a post in one of the affiliate "mega" threads? I just responded to a post by arcadata in the latest Affiliate Links for "arcadata" thread -- thinking arcadata because a recent post led me to the new ebook backlist of Richie Tankersley Cusick. Without the thread, I might never have know her old books were becoming available again.
And yes, I did quote the post (because I believe that responding to posts without quoting can be confusing
. Do I have to remove the affiliate link from that post? Or is it OK because arcadata's affiliate link is OK in that thread? After all, in that case, it should be understood that posts in the affiliate thread are affiliate links. In addition, if anyone was going to buy something from that link, they would probably use the link in arcadata's original post, not in the response.
