It's also an important way to harvest links for the hierarchical links
collections.  That is, each time a new URL is encountered, it'll probably
go onto a list of "unknown/unrecognized" URLs waiting to be described and/or
categorized.  For example, someone's web site on hyperdrive motivators
might go into the Star Wars and Building categories.

And besides, if off-site links weren't allowed, the system would be much
less useful.

(...) Do you plan to have an automated cleaning of offsite links? There seem to be a bunch of broken links on the links page. (27 years ago, 29-Jun-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)
