Front page news threads

Why do the threads in the forum quote 100% of the text in the front page blurb but then link to the blurb instead of directly to the source article? The text is the same on both so I see absolutely no benefit to the user?

The forum is meant to be a place for the subject matter discussion, not a replacement for the news page.

I agree, many of the times when I click on the link - I am expecting the article itself and not other thread. But as Kyle has just said...

I guess I'll have to click it twice now... or you just could make it link to the Hard|OCP Article itself? That would work?
