LINK REDACTED

Redacted, that what they do to military papers they dont want the public poking about in. Redact the salient facts, blank them out with thick heavy black lines so no one can see the words. Well I have now redacted my blog. All references to somewhere have now been removed on the wishes of the owner of that somewhere. I was asked quite politely by a company I no longer link to to remove my links to their company as the text of my link was skewing their google stats. Alternatively they asked if I would change the link to point at a more specific page on their site. Fine, they asked politely, I can remove their link on my blog, it was only there to help them, if they dont want it, fine by me. My disreputable blog dirtying their pure statistics. Then I get an email from my oldest friend saying they had contacted him and asked him to ask me to remove their links! Well OK I am not the fastest in the world but its only been a few days. My friend also believes that my disreputable blog is contaminating HIS stats as well and asked my to remove mention of his company as well. Not presenting a professional image! Well so be it. You dont need links from this tiny insignificant blog, fine they are gone. You have been redacted from this blog. In a couple of days, when ever googles crawler, spiders this blog - no more links or even a mention.

There was a time once when people were grateful for links It was how the internet worked.
Can you imagine what a huge effort (cost) it must be to them to ask anyone they dont like who links to them to remove the link?

just to let you know we're going out there in 2 weeks. Hope you're still finding some time or money to do some work, you seem so close to finishing it off! We'll be living in a caravan on site, feel free to come and see us (and gloat about us struggling building it), it's in La Moussiere, St Jean d'Aulps near the church.
Cheers,
Annemarie

Hope you can still find some time and money to finish it all off, you're so close and worked so hard!

Would love to come and visit. Many thanks for invite. I intend to be in Morzine from about the 5th August for 2 weeks which luckily I think will coincide with your trip!
Hope to see you then.
