Why did koam.com remove the howardshrine.com link?

When Kevin returned from his hiatus,I picked up just where we left off, and started sending him links to Stern related articles-something that I did for him for years. All the time I was sending him links, and helping him make koam.com one of the premier Stern fan websites, he refused to put a link to my site on his board. He told me that everytime he would link one of my interviews, he would get record number of emails complaining, from people like Joey Boots and other Doc haters. But to his credit,despite all the hate mail, he posted the links anyway because he liked the articles and recognized them as some of the best Stern interviews on the web. Links to websites that no longer existed cluttered his site, but a link to the shrine was never added. I continued to send him links anyway, for the fans.

When the new koam.com returned a few short weeks ago, to my surprise, there was a link to this blog, right between the link to sternfannetwork and the email to the show. It was a happy day in Sterndom. Koam.com had finally recognized the #1 Stern fan website. I emailed Kevin and told him how honored I was, and very excited that he finally added my link. I also learned that Joey Boots was starting a grassroots email campaign to get him to remove the link. When I told him about this,Kevin told me that he was not going to cave into the pressure and the link would stand.

This past week, as you know, there was a lot of negative Sternfannetwork news in this blog (since September Joesph Bassolino and Jeff Hey have refused to remove my personal information from their board) ...Also this week, Kevin was interviewed by Howard 100 News and he mentioned his site, sfn, and marksfriggin as THE Stern fan websites. No mention of the shrine.

This morning, our link is suddenly gone, and we at Shrine 100 news want to know why.

Koam.com was emailed. So far, no response. We also sent the following email to Tim Sabean, Steve Langford, The Stern show, Howard 100 News,Doug Goodstein, and Jim McClure from Sirius to try and find out why the change of heart, and why the #1 Howard Stern fan website, www.howardshrine.com, is being ignored.

Shrine 100 news will let you know what we find out.

"Koam.com removes howardshrine.com link"

is it because of the anti-sfn blogs this week?
did this move come from stern higher ups?
did joey boots and mutt get to kevin? why now, after years of helping him, would he cast the shrine aside?
sfn, koam, and marksfriggin..............what about the howardshrine??
look into this and get back to me.

thanks

Doc
