I don't agree with the method, but I certainly can agree with the sentiment. It's totally inappropriate to punish all the good links that made Wikipedia great just to get rid of a few spammers. We should develop more effective spam control rather than targetting all the links as one.

I'm quaking in my boots.
So you should be. Wikipedia would be *nothing* without all the spam and backlinks from blogs. The content of the encyclopaedia is only to add stickiness, isn't it?
