It's on a publicly accessible website, we don't need permission to link to you.<br/>I agree though. I always write back a very polite reply, stating that I've removed the link, and that if they'd like some free advertising and traffic in the future, please contact me. They're usually not quite so aggressive in their reply then :)<br/><br/>BTW cool blog, keep it up. I should post something to mine one day! :) We get a few of these conversations about our freebie site -
