I don't quite understand why this is such a big deal. I mean, the people with cause to link to the site need to fill out a form, just like I had to fill out a form to post my comment. If you don't want to fill out the form, don't post the link. Personally, I can't see that many untoward orgs wanting to link to NPR. They get most of their operating money from individual donors; it seems to be they are just trying to keep track of who is using their web site and why so that, should someone ask about why teensluts.com is linking to NPR, they can say, we didn't authorize it, they are breaking our policy. It simply seems to be a way to cover themselves since every last tote-carrying listener who donates can write or call or email and complain about what they hear, read, etc. Why is this such a big deal?
