I spent some time wandering around the Lycos system, and I noticed some
source sites have built in protection. On some images I clicked I got a
message something like this: "This site has been illegally linked from
an outside source." And the image failed to load. However, I don't
think we want to prevent anyone from linking to the PUG. After all, it's
there so people can see it.
