By his own proud admission, Avi Adelman is an irrepressible muckraker.

As the proprietor of BarkingDogs.org, a "proactive" news website that unearths political malfeasance in and around Dallas, Texas, Adelman has been, as he loves to say, "a thorn in the side of a lot of people out here."

Was that a "deep link"?? This is inane. Does this mean I can't tell a friend what page in the paper an article is on because he might actually avoid some of the ads in the paper? Does the paper object if libraries subscribe? What if more than one person reads an article out of the same copy of the paper? Can I clip articles out without the ads and post it on the bulletin board at work??

There's a simple solution for this problem. Put up a server in Bulgaria somewhere (http://foo). Put a database on the server that maps some magic cookie (XYZZY) to a deep URL. Then have your site call http://foo/cgi-bin/redirect?path=XYZZY) which redirects to the deep link. Simple. Easy.

some idiots have no clue what the web is all about.

But they allow deep links from their own site...

Word is that John Dean is going to reveal who 'Deep Link' is.

That Belo site is one of the most annoying on the internet. I don't mind a Free Republic cookie sitting in my computer, but I'll be danged if I'll let the Dallas Moaning News snoop around.
