Probably.

I dunno about the net population at large, but I'd certainly experience
guilt feelings if I summoned up an image to which there was no readily-

And the corporate sites which link to all their product via a single
image-map jpg.. where the jpg is a missing link. (Ouch. And these
people make _fireworks_? Dangerous gunpowder and all?)

Don't tell me you've never encountered any of those, and have never

Oh, and how do sites on multiple servers fare? Does /index on those
servers count as "linked"?
