Well, a rule that requires a member site to place the navpanel prominently doesn't disqualify a ring from being a 'real' webring
IMO. Maybe you could expand on why you found that rule
remarkable.

I believe I didn't express myself properly. Their banner doesn't link to any other site but theirs. There's no "next" or "previous" or "random". According to what I have read, that's not a webring.

Aha, now I see, and I do agree on that. Btw, now I remember the "False representation" thread you started at the World of Webrings mailing list: http://www.webringworld.org/mailarc/msg02432.html

Finally, I guess I didn't subscribe to the good mailing list since
it's not the first time that my posting is not "aapropriate". Sorry
about that, I thought we were exchanging about what's a webring and
what it should not be considered as one.

I believe I should remove my name from this mailing list.

I do apologize if you took offense at that comment, Manny, it was certainly not my intention. What I tried to say (obviously not very successfully) was that I _do_ think that the idea with a webring certificate is a good one. In fact, I think it's such a good idea that I'd like to see it come true, and I believe that World of Webrings would be the natural host for such a certification. That's the reason, the _only_ reason, for suggesting that you bring it up there _as well_. The topic is indeed _not_ inappropriate here.

I think you read things 'between the lines' that were never there, at
least they were never intended to be...  But when I now read my last
post, I understand that it's possible to interpret it that way. Again,
I'm sorry for the ambigous comment.

You also said that "it's not the first time". Have I made other similar mistakes? Please let me know, so we can put things right.

And please don't unsubscribe. We want you here!

/ Gunnar
