I have nothing against the manifesto (mostly), I said as much in an eariler message, but I was simply asking questions, looking at it from a different perspective.

But Andreas has stated, that in addition to linking to a video if someone emails him, that if he or Brittany come accross a Lumiere they will then also link to it...But what if the person doesn't want to be linked to because they don't believe in this manifesto? Look, I know the web is a great big link fest, but in cases like this, I think it bears pondering that practice. Cheryl has already stated that she will no longer make Lumiere's because she doesn't want to be associated with the manifesto, I find that troubling. How many others feel that way? If Andreas were giving people the choice to be associated with the site he has, I wouldn't feel the way I do, but he doesn't always do that, and that is where my concern lies. Again, I know people link from all over the web, it's a part of what makes the web so great (I do it) and yes I realize that anyone can link to anything at any given time...but maybe just because we can doesn't mean we should....
