The 'bad link' was during the time I was waiting for confirmation from LSPPP author that you had permission to alter his code and put your name on it. The answer was "no" and I removed links to your website. Any other complaints? >My web host, as the majority do (and, >rightfully so I would add) does NOT allow links to files on >their servers from outside sites. That is a "No no", and was >once used to circumvent security measures. You may be referring to freeservers attempt to keep users at your webpage where they can shove popups and banner advertisements in their face. There is no "no no" that you refer to and linking to other servers is what makes the Internet work. I don't think you know of what you speak. >Steven is simply >asking that you correctly link only to his web site. How >something such as this could "alienate" anyone is puzzing to >me. I stated quite clearly that Steven's attempt to blame his period of inactivity on me personally was alienating me. Can't you read or are you so intensely interested in arguing with me that you don't bother? >In my opinion, the courteous thing to do would just be >point your page visitors to the source of the various files >you reference, UNLESS, you actually host the download files >on your web server. You opinion is noted and promptly ignored. I don't host the files on my server, I don't add my name to the files to make it appear I authored them and I'm just not you. Get it?
