I wasn't suggesting that any linguistics student would trust a link from your journal. But from yours it finds its way to two others', to four others', to eight, and so on, and so forth. And eventually, it's highly seen, therefore highly available. I wasn't eferring to this essay specifically (anyone would see this was a bad source). I was more making a general point.
That, what, I should vet every last link before I post it in my journal? No. Don't be stupid. Anybody who gets themselves in trouble for citing a bad source that they picked up on the internet on a paper deserves what they get.
