Surely, somebody at boston.com understands the concept of hyperlinks

Today's Business Filter on teleconferencing says:

Save yourselves! Here is a great set of guidelines to help ensure you don't have a botched call.

But doesn't provide a link to said great guidelines. It's enough to set off a normally mild-mannered John Daley (who found the site and then waded through five pages of archives to find the guidelines):

I know there's probably a technical reason that the story didn't contain the appropriate hyperlink (it did contains some others) but I really don't care. This is inexcusable from the reader's point of view. ...

Reverse Publishing?

The same content appears on boston.com here: Don't blow that teleconference days earlier with a hyperlink. (and with the same odd capitalization of "Bluetooth".but with ISO-8859-1 literal characters in the headline.)

Then days later it is published in the newspaper without the hyperlinks, and winds up back on Boston.com as a story, and not a blog entry.

It seems that somewhere along the way, the hyperlinks got lost.
