Out of those three choices, number 3 (no best answer) is the only choice.

1. This type of answer does not follow the rules in Copying and Pasting on Mahalo specifically this part.
~quote
When you do rely on copying somebody else's information as your answer, you always want to provide some original text from yourself, on Mahalo Answers you can perhaps explain why you are using this source and maybe even explain why you trust it.

** highlight the word **always** in the above quote.

2. This type of answer is no good unless the questioner **asked specifically** "where can I find some good links on..." otherwise it is not an answer it is simply pointing the reader to the answer. If someone asks for an answer the want an answer not a way to find an answer. Asking the question on Mahalo Answers is their way of looking.

3. No best answer is the only choice in this scenario. If we are to keep a high standard here on Mahalo Answers we must both live by this highly set bar of what is acceptable and hold others accountable as well.
