For what it's worth ...
I agree no one should have a sig unless they link back. As for the "front page" part, that's a nice dream, but often ridiculous. As long as you are linked the same place others are linked, IMHO, that's what counts. Front page is nice. (Hell, Oprano is on the front page of AllOfEm.) But that IS going overboard. Asking for A link that is at least equal to others is totally reasonable.
Also, for what it's worth, AllOfEm likewise does NOT publish any press releases or news sent to us unless we are *somewhere* linked. Having a resource I can certainly agree that people who do not link back ARE leeches, that's why we have a polic: take traffic, but don't give it, then screw you. So yes, I do understand, and I do agree that link-backs should be required.
