That takes you to the original post, of which the ruling is a summary
(and often a somewhat more generic statement). Once we've clicked on
the date link, here we find:... a quote from the result of clicking!
And on the Interwebnets, that might take you to a whole different page.

At this point, you may go "Ooh!" and "Aah!" at the special magics of
computers.

If finding a clearly quoted ruling on the White Wolf rulings page and
clicking on the date link to find the original post is too hard, I can't
even begin to imagine what on earth you're doing there.

And before anyone asks... it was _me_. _I'm_ the guy who peed in
James' Cheerios this morning. My flight just got back only an hour
ago... Gotta get some sleep, now.

Thanks for the nice and funny reply, Dave. I was thinking for a
moment that I was apparently a complete idiot, since I have high
respect for James.

James, upon further investigation, I discovered why I missed your
reference. If you go here:
http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=rulings
(which can be reached from the "All Rulings" link on the left side of
the main VTES page)

You'll find the actual ruling, but not the original post. You have to
click on the "[LSJ 19980107]" link, which, on my browser, is not
obviously a link. If you mouse-over it, it becomes obvious, but I
didn't realize it was a link because it was black text without an
underline. On the internet, from my experience, black text without an
underline is rarely a link.

In the future, I'll know how to navigate that, but it wasn't obvious.
You might also consider including direct URLs to your references,
because that's really easy for the reader.
