Why is it any of my business?! Because IT'S MY JOB to make it my business, that's why. Most web masters don't have a problem correcting bad links on their site, since dead links on their site make them look bad too.

I'm not going to go into a back and forth about putting up a redirect. It won't work in this case and your answer doesn't address my original question.

So if anyone can answer my original question, THANKS!
