I'm all for linking. In fact, the site is linked all over the web, and I
love that.
IMHO, no one should need permission to link. If you put a site on the
public web, then anyone can link to it. The whole point of hypertext,
right?
Prudent quoting is just as okay-dokey. My problem is with wholesale
copying.
