Cease and Desist on the ./ Effect (Score 0, Redundant)

It's cool beans that people post links to web tidbits that the collective might find interesting, but why the farg don't people contact the sites owners to verify that either they can handle the ensuing trafic of a ./ reference, or if the site in question is mirrored elsewhere. I think this should be a requirement before people post links - especially to non-commercial sites.
