- robert_tweed 10y agoI wasn't suggesting only displaying the cache link, but rather providing a list of alternate links (if available - not all sites allow archival, or the cache might be stale) so they are always there at the top of the page. It's not exactly clear what is best netiquette regarding linking because larger sites that rely on advertising and can handle the traffic will welcome more clicks, but smaller sites would rather be cached. Better for HN not to encourage or discourage either, but give both options and let the readers decide.
