"ZOMG WIKIPEDIA IS STEALING OUR LINKS!!!1!1one"

When did people start believing there was some sort of moral
obligation for a site that they link to to give them some sort of
kickback via a third party's link-rating system (i.e., PageRank)?

Note to J. Random Nobody (who may well be reading this list via links
to the archive from similarly outraged windbags^Hbloggers), we didn't
*ask* you to link to us, ergo we owe you nothing.

In amusement,

Earle
