While waiting for some sign of life from the Russians, I just noticed that I misused the word "transgress" in the first post. I think the word I was looking for was "emerge". While I
transgressed unwritten site rules in the original post - and may have done so also in my initial reaction to the deleting of the links - nothing but amiable conversation took place after that. What
emerged from the conversation was the site rule not to link to sites which promote piracy, whether what's linked to in the specific instance is kosher or not.
Just to clarify.
