The homeowner is the one that posted about a garden in front of their home in their own newsletter. I came there to find out the garden had been moved, but with no notice of where the new address is.
I have to go into the archives to look at the flowers, which means the archive person has to give me images from whenever they took the photo, where it might not be from the same year
- kixiQu 4y agoLike, are they? "Their own newsletter" makes it sound like internal links remain broken, something that I will immediately cede is rude to a visitor. But – even if I had publicized something and said "hey everybody come look", it's only social context that determines whether you infer from that "hey everybody come look (forever)". And I think that social context is sort of nonsense. For other people who've created links – that's something they should take care of. I try to clear out my blogroll so people don't see broken links – but no one on that list owed me their permanent web presence.
- iopq 4y agoYes, if you keep a link on your site, that's an invitation to come look forever until you change the link.
- kixiQu 4y agoRight. But if I move stuff around and fix any preserved internal link, the fact that someone else somewhere had some other link that is now broken: not morally on me, IMO!
