I am trying to tell them what they <i>could</i> do. I am obviously biased, but I think that the readers of the LA Times foodblog would be genuinely well served to discover the terrific local foodblogs out there.

I have low expectations when it comes to the LAT being relevant in terms of blogging. At the end of the day, as long as la.foodblogging / digesty provide linkage, I’m fine.

I am assuming that it's left over from early days of protectionist content where sites thought that they were giving something up by allowing deep links. Many have long figured out that it is to their benefit to <i>allow</i> other sites to drive traffic to their pages. I can’t imagine that they really would enforce that term of service.

How do they really expect to enforce their anti-deep-linking policy? Oh wait, I know. By making deep-link content disappear. Bravo! Silly LA Times.
