Well, I for one am glad to see this:

While it may be impolite, linking to something deep within a website is not

a page?

I find it most impolite _not_ to link directly to the
relevant page.

Play well,

Jacob

(...) Well, if you link directly to things deep within a site, you're not really respecting the user experience the site designer had in mind. That may or may not be impolite. (In fact, I'd argue that on a well designed site, it probably isn't.) (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
