The US NPR (an equivalent to the BBC) is banning links to their site without permission. Hmm. I wonder if they have forgotten the definition of "public"?
This is what I said, in part, in filling out the NPR form.
How long I have been linked to you for about 6-8 years. This policy may result in a link like the one for American Airlines at http://www.conjure.com/travel.html - a statement that I *used* to link to you.
Comments I am a librarian and a KQED listener member. I link to you from both my work pages and my personal domain. If this is against your policies I am *so* gone. Put the public back in public radio. If you want to know who is linking to you - search on google. I hope every listener/member who has a web site and linked to you thinking they were doing the right thing fills out this stupid form and totally chokes your system. The web is BUILT on linking. This action of denying links without permission is the antithesis of good netizenship..
