Something tells me the folks running the Official Athens 2004 website may be somewhat unfamiliar with the whole concept of the World-Wide Web. Consider the site's inbound linking policy, which states:
For your protection and ours we have established a procedure for parties wishing to introduce a link to the ATHENS 2004 website on their site.
For our protection? Is there some sort of reverse lookup boobie trap business going on here? They go on:
In order to place a link embedded in copy interested parties should:
Use the term ATHENS 2004 only, and no other term as the text referent
Not associate the link with any image, esp. the ATHENS 2004 Emblem (see paragraph below)
Send a request letter to the Internet Department stating:
Short description of site
Reason for linking
Unique URL containing the link (if no unique URL than just the main URL)
Publishing period
Contact point (e-mail address)
Well, I'm convinced. Here's my open letter requesting permission to post this link: ATHENS 2004.
Dear Sir or Ma'am. I'd like to post a link to the ATHENS 2004 Web site. Per your Hyperlink Policy, please find my official request below:
Short description of site: The Daily Blog. A loose collection of technology-related ramblings from the editors at Network Computing.
Reason for linking: To poke fun at the absolutely insane hyperlink policy in place on the ATHENS 2004 site.
Unique URL containing the link (if no unique URL than just the main URL):http://blog.networkcomputing.com/daily/

Contact point (e-mail address):[email protected]
