I found this statement to be a bit surprising.

As background, I should note that I very rarely use end-notes in emails.  So, 
I certainly am one who has a demonstrated record of placing links in context, 
because it feels more natural to me, both when reading and writing emails.

However, it is also without question that placing links in end-notes is by far 
the most common practice on Debian mailing lists.  I would take that to be a 
general consensus among most people who write to the mailing lists that it is 
either appropriate or encouraged to do so.

Therefore, I have a hard time endorsing any statement mandating in-line links 
on Debian Mentors.  However, I am glad that, so far, nobody has complained 
when I have chosen to do so in the emails I send.
