So we/du have been linked-to on a certain wingnut site for how long?

I didn't want to name it in the subject line to make searches from the outside more difficult. It's the Ratt Sludge site. I went there for the first time in forever because the local radio wingnut was in a wingnut hysterical fit over Sludge warning that a SCotUS justice telling him "the votes are there" for a revamping of copyright laws that will destroy independent websites that rely on linking to news items from original sources or even quoting headlines and paraphrasing content, anything done without owners' permission.

So I couldn't find the item at the Sludge site, then did via Google, which is supposedly as endangered as everything else.

But there was DU in the list of links in Sludge. I'm sure we've been there for a long time, but at least it shows I haven't even looked there in that long.

I made a comment about something here on DU back in 2006, I was then pointed to a link on a right wing nut bag site (via a fellow DU'er), that showed my comment and the frothy outrage that it inspired. And how these nuts were going to track me down, blah blah blah.

nothing ever happened.

but they have been linking and "spying" on us for years.
