Oh, from the original post I took it that it replaced your link with a scribd link (rather than adding a second link). I still think it is a questionable practice, but find it much less objectionable than I did at first.
IIRC, when I joined (circa mid 08) it did replace your link with one to Scribd. There was some questioning about whether this was right, people don't like the Scribd layout, blah blah, and I believe the decision was made to add a Scribd link but keep the original.
Posting it violated the Scribd TOS sections 8.1 and 8.8.
