Re: Re UKNM: Linking to sites

[Jeremy Spiller]

Isn't 'linking to sites' what the web is all about. This reminds me of the

person who once said to me 'I'd like to build a site (open) but I don't want

my competitors to see it.' Pardon.


If you build a site (open) then people will link to it (hopefully), millions

will come to it (hopefully), millions will read what's on it (hopefully) and

that's good.


If this isn't wanted then password protect it or part of it, or put it on

your intranet or your extranet or something.


The whole thing about 'deep-linking' is confusing as well. Many sites may

have many home pages which are cross-linked, or pages may be distributed

throughout servers across the globe, mirrored, or similar. At the end of the

day what is the 'home page' and where is it?.  The 'home page' of the group,

a division, a company, a product or whatever? Sounds to me like regulation

trying to be put into place by people who know little about the medium

they're trying to regulate. Now where have I heard of that before? <grin>.
