apparently my links to the athens website in yesterdays blog were illegal. i should have asked for their permission in writing…
uhm?
you what?
August 17: Words to describe the utter ridiculousness of the Athens Olympics policy on linking to its site escape me. ‘For your protection and ours’, apparently, anyone wishing to link to the Athens 2004 official site must mail (yes, that’s snail mail folks) a letter to the Internet Department providing a ‘short description of site, reason for linking, unique URL containing the link (if no unique URL then just the main URL), publishing period, contact point (e-mail address)’. What is this ‘e-mail’ of which they speak? (My linking request is, um, in the post, okay?)
how silly is that? what next… [my letter is in the mail as well, okay?]
You have GOT to be joking right!??
Something tells me that that policy was created by a PR nobrain, and definitely not a web person.
what a complete bunch of arse, imagine the internet if everyone had to snail mail everyone else that they wanted to link….
Very, very silly indeed!
I bet this wouldn’t have happened if you’d linked to the Official Website of Olympig Movement… đŸ˜‰
oink!
That’s bloody stupid! I hereby call on all blog/website owners throughout the www to link to their site, just to piss them off!
i hear ya jaggy…
