Why Disclaimers ?

• Some law courts in some countries come up with objectionable rulings, that URL pointers need to be disclaimed, else are considered to recommend remote content as agreed with by the pointer.
• Farcical, as
  • Local pointers have no control of changing remote content,
  • Remote domains expire & or are sold to other new owners sometimes with completely different content.
  • Many web authors have no time to thoroughly check remote content; not viable to maintain or regularly check large numbers whether paid, or unpaid.
    (I for instance have 38,000 URL links under a subset of web pages, albeit a good proportion of hrefs are internal).
  • Readers are lucky that private authors bother to add click-able URLs, without which the web would not exist or work as it does. Such rulings degrade the internet, on which an increasing percentage of advanced nations growth is based.
  • Readers should use a search engine instead/ as well, &/or pay for access to a public library, or pay some commercial publisher if they want paid reliability & researched & checked recommendations.
• Laws, lawyers, daft court rulings, & the so called "policaly correct" now scare & burden people on the Internet to waste time space & bandwidth formulating, transmitting, & reading boring disclaimers to avoid foolishness &, the litigious.
  Examples:
  • BBC = British Broadcasting Corporation
  • FCO = British Foreign & Commonwealth Office

Money For Links

• None of my web pages have links anyone has paid me or my company or my associates money (or even beer etc) for.
• Here's what I saw on someone else's page:
  Disclosure: If you purchase from a company that I have linked to (like Amazon) then I may be compensated with an affiliate marketing payment.
• Doubtless a lot more web page authors should be more honest, & declare their cookies & pay per redirect etc arrangements.

• I will likely grant any copy request free of charge, but I do not formally grant the information to the public domain. In particular, I would be unhappy about people misusing my resume for other than the intended purpose (encouraging job offers ), I would of course object to my data being twisted out of context, or misrepresented etc.
