Of course if I linked to one of your pages and you sent me an email asking me to stop, I would be happy to comply. I think I misstated my thought: I don't believe permission needs to be asked to deep link. If I find a page with good content I will just include a link and a description.

I view it as this: if I read a good story and I liked chapter 12, I might include a reference to chapter 12 in an article that I wrote. I don't need to ask the authors permission to recommend that people read chapter 12 of his book. In fact, according to fair use, I don't even need to ask if I want to include a brief quote or two.
