I've noticed a number of questions like this which link to config files or log files hosted elsewhere (PasteBin, GitHub Gist, Dropbox etc.). I've always been of the opinion external links should generally be discouraged unless necessary (Lots of people come to SE from search sites, finding a useful answer/question that has become useless because of external links annoys me to no end).

Should this be discouraged/edited to include the files inline or am I being fussy about something that doesn't really matter?
