      In most of the groups that I inhabit, a bare URL implicitly
means 'Hey this is interesting and pertinent, check it out!.'

      I would agree a quick subject line on the URL would be useful
but a subject line in the header of the post would be sufficient.

     The original poster does not owe discussion, he owes something
pertinent to the news group through the URL, and others can start
the discussion if they want.

     This is true, but one wouldn't want to criticize before
the fact of evidence for spam.
