This example reminds me of an interview I heard with Johnny Rotten (of the Sex Pistols) a few years ago. He was trying to get in touch with Neil Young to write a piece for some magazine, and left word with Neil's agent. The agent got back saying Neil wouldn't do the interview, since he only talked to people he knew. Johnny Rotten's beep-filled response boiled down to -- the guy wrote a song about me, and he doesn't know me ? (For any non Neil Young fans, as opposed to many songs where there is debate what it's about, "Hey hey my my" actually contains the line "This is a song about Johnny Rotten"). Along the same lines -- I would say linking to a web site implies some relationship, at the least to be contacted about that link. -Chris ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
