Although, I like the idea, it could be a bit of a two edged sword.

On the one hand, we don't have a Links section for bits and pieces.

On the other hand we have the Partners, Sponsors and Advertisers, top, right and bottom.
If we did have a Links, then in fairness all these people would have to be included automatically. Which would negate having a dedicated Links area.

So maybe only vendors of raw materials should be included.
