> What if the exact post I link to is fine, but my OTHER posts (which you'd have to voluntarily click on after you got there) were not? What if I warned about exactly that?
I think we decided that a page that's linked to needs to be OK, but that it would be too much to require that pages that that page links to be OK, too.
> So, even AFTER toph's question & that discussion, it's settled law that warnings DON'T make a link okay?
My feeling is that if it would need a warning, it's better just not to link to it.
> I want a way to point people accurately to a page that's relevant to understanding a particular issue under discussion or may otherwise be helpful while making sure people aren't inadvertently disturbed by off-site content.
How about if people ask others to babblemail them if they're interested in something like that?
