I tried to send them feedback, via the site feedback form, and got an email back saying you need to be registered with their googlegroup to send feedback. There is no indication on the form that you need to be registered.
I added feedback to their Wiki, it got deleted without a reply.
There is no contact info on the website. If there is, I'd like to know about it.
Since my feedback has been rejected, deleted and ignored, I'll post it here in hopes that it will be listened to.
From: Steve GarfieldI hope that someone from NashvilleNews gets to see this and improves the site.

Hi,
Thanks for linking to me but I've got some suggestions.
Please take them in a constructive and friendly way.
1. Don't copy my whole post.
The way of the web and linking is to mention my post and provide a link back so people can come to my site and read the whole post. If you are going to link to me, you can use an excerpt of approximately 10-20%, but pleae do not copy the entire post.
2. Please provide a link back to my post.
You link back to my blog via a graphic, but not to the post that you have copied. Please copy the permalink and link back to that for reasons stated above.
Something like:
via [ Off On A Tangent ]
That way would be a lot clearer as to where you got the content from than just posting a graphic with no real indication where the content came from.
3. Don't use graphics that I am hosting on my site on your site.
If you want to use my graphics, make a copy and host them yourself. Linking directly to my graphic costs me money. Also, you are resizing the large graphic to a smaller size. Might as well resize it yourself.
Other things:
