Agerhart, it is true that many sites spurn links because they don't realize the benefit THEY will get. On the other hand, if a site is highly ranked and has plenty of links, I would consider it a wise business decision to tell a poorly ranked and sparsely linked competitor to look elsewhere.

The sites that drive me crazy are the ones who won't link, not because of competitive reasons, but rather, "If I have links on my site, people might leave."
