Today I was asked for my permission to include a link to my blog on a website. Although it was very nice to be asked, there was no need as the site is in the public domain and anyone can link to it, for any purpose.
I am also happy for anyone to quote from it or use the information as long as they indicate where the information came from.
There is:
- this blog
- my Virtual Library Catalogue and Document Depository
- Conductive Education Press and the 4 books it has published.
The blog was started in 2008, Conductive Education Press in 2009, and the Virtual Library in 2010
Not bad for a start!

Yes, it is an odd request, isn't it?
As you say, though, it must be nice to be asked!
A more appropriate etiquette, I should have thought, might be to post and interesting URL anyway then, should you wish, notify the owner for the sake of feedback.
I used to do try to do this as a matter of routine but I was posting so many that I was soon overwhelmed by the scale of the task. What I was not overwhelmed by was the number of people who made any response, positive or minus. I am afraid that, like any non-reinforced behaviour, this routine soon extinguished.
I still do notify links posted (I did it but yesterday but only in targeted instances, not as a routine. I do not think that I am being particularly discourteous in this: at least no one has ever complained.
Should people ever do so, I guess, then one would have to deal with this on a case-by-case basis.Who knows, perhaps a complainant my have legitimate grounds for a complaint, in which case there might be grounds for amendment. Enough such, thre might even be generalisable principles emerging.
I am sure that there already. It would be nice to be shown where. I do not have time to look.
