When I first started looking at web design many years ago now, I had a
conversation with a very prominent web designer. In his three rules of
web design he told me that a site will not work without links, because
if you never link how are going to get anyone to link to you. This is
the reason why the Internet is fluid and there are no dead ends (apart
for you page). If information is to be shared we need to link. Calling
yourself the final destination is a bit big headed and are you telling
me that there are no fishing sites you can link to without endangering
your commerce?.

The only final destination on the Internet is the Internet itself.
