I would input that you can put a link to any site on
your own without worries of law breaking unless it
could be deemed defamatory.
eg "Click 'here' for Joe Smiths's site" is fine,
whereas
"Click 'here' for the socially dysfunctional pervert
Joe Smith's site" (apologies if anyone called Joe
Smith is on the list)
would probably be open for debate :-)
