Perhaps I don't understand why this is unacceptable. Am I not allowed to
mention Amazon.com in my articles, because some computers will interpret
that as a "link"? Are my articles not allowed to include the forbidden
characters: http://www.*.com/ ? What's so bad about mentioning other sites.
Surely, if we were building a great encyclopedia -- the task we seem to have
thrust on Nupedia -- we would want to not include links, but I don't see why
they can't be in the great, open, uncensored GNE.
I guess I still don't even understand what the GNE is...
