I think the larger problem is not whether or not I link to places that are public.
The larger problem is the bots and spiders crawling through the net and some
of them do not obey the rules as to what is public or f'locked.
And I figure when hostile people link to my blogs, it drives up my hits and that is all well and good.
I write so people will read it.
So to be higher up in search engines is a good think.
I realize not everyone has this outlook.

Kind of like "Any illusion of privacy will be smashed."
Certainly internet laws haven't caught up as many of the laws
were not written with the internet in mind.
