I did as the VOTECH Guide for The Mining Company.
I quit.
They did not listen to me re: deep link and frames.

I have no problem with deep links as long as the
original source is clearly given.

This is the essence of academic fair use purposes.

I do not support sites that use frames to make it
harder for the users to find the original source.

Besides... frames are generally accepted as inaccessible
for blind users and other People with Disabilities.

Be careful in your use of frames <in fact more
webmeisters are dropping their use> and definitely
have a navigable alternate that meets with W3C
accessibility guidelines.

[the Internet] could remain what it ought to be:
just a public instrument. There ought to be efforts --
not just talk but real efforts -- to ensure Internet
access, not just for rich people but for everyone.
