You are absolutely correct and I better post this to all four listservs to
be on the safe side. I once listed a URL from a research group at UCLA on
a resource page and got back quite a nasty note from them for using their
URL as a link without asking. I try to notify links now and do a Web
Credits section. Graphics should, as you say, be included. We aim for
generic clip art whenever possible.
Thanks for keeping us on the straight and narrow!
