There was no threat or anything.

I will not remove a link from the page because it does not have a reciprocal
link. 

Back in the "old days" reciprocal links were considered common courtesy, but
there are many good reasons a person may not have a reciprocal link.

Twelve people however took the little nudge and published reciprocal links,
so the reminder was good. Also a couple new links were added (Juergen,
sorry, I lost your e-mail, please forward your direct link again, thank you)
and some boo-boos corrected.

Thanks again to such a great crew, solder fumes must make people more
civilized.
