, the publishers of DallasNews.com seem to need a smack with the clue-stick. Check out 4B: “If you operate a Web site and wish to link to this Site, you may link only to the home page of the Site and not to any other page or subdomain of us.”

Uh, sorry, but which page I link to on the open internet is my business, not yours. If you don’t want links to your content, don’t put it on the internet. And if you can’t figure out a way to make money off putting material on the open internet, that’s your problem. Deal with it.

Recombinant blogging about groceries

Ed (who I know very well) reports on the possible closing of Warshaw’s, around the corner from my place, citing Maggie, who I also know, and M-J (who wrote the story for Hour), who I know even better. I’m sure a lot of people are crying about this possibility, but although I appreciate the benefits of truly local businesses, Warshaw’s is/was expensive, has/had terrible produce and a worse selection than most places in the area, and is absolutely filthy from top to bottom. Good solid local businesses are important in an era such as this: Warshaw’s just isn’t one of them.
