I was wondering something, another member of the MS community provided a link to an article about using LEGOs as a way to help keep your mind in shape.

But when I mentioned the same idea in a different question and provided the exact same link, it received a totally different reception, it was liked and found useful.

Perhaps some of the responders saw what others said and then followed on those lines. This forum is good for us to be able to talk about what we are going through, and share our experiences so others may be able to benefit.

People perceived the idea differently than others. I could read the same thing and might not like it while another if someone else explained it I would get a different understanding. It’s all according to how we are wired and how ms effects our thinking

Okay, the question isn't really about LEGOs. I was trying to compare two different approaches of presenting the same information. In your opinion, is it better to be given bare bones information or supplied with a reason why someone might like to look at a particular article or video? In otherwords, do details make the difference?
