There aren't really any "powers that be", other than the msnews server
administrator(s) that appear to try to limit spam, but otherwise allow a
usenet-like exchange.

Linking to others' sites is perfectly acceptable, and certainly
preferable to posting content from other sites.

If I see a soultion to a problem on another excel website (totally
unconnected to myself), say

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/datearith.htm

is it ok with both the administrators and the website owner to put
hyperlinks in posts.

I just wondered if you should maybe only hyperlink to your own site.
