Well, let's be honest, the number of links in that category is
somewhere between three and ten. Ever. So it's not *that* big a
problem, although it makes sense to try to help good-faith editors
not to make the same mistake again.
The problem is not so much that the links were removed, but that some
people are still defending the removal as the right thing to have
done.
And on that note, I'm also going to bow out of this round of the
BADSITES debate. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who will be
celebrating it.
