> To forbid deep linking seems to me to be a practice that ignores > the essence of the web. Have any of you experienced problems > with deep links? 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.

Gantt, Computer Science Technology Instructor Electronic Media Design and Support http://user.icx.net/~pgantt/ [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. ~~ Noam Chomsky, MIT ~~
