Then why don't the perl.apache.org and Calmaeth links have HREFs on these two pages? http://perl.apache.org/outstanding/success_stories/allakhazam.com.html http://perl.apache.org/outstanding/success_stories/calmaeth.maths.uwa.edu.au.html These two pages are what led me to believe only the links listed in the URL: header were linked. > As we seemed to agree at the advocacy list, we shouldn't not delete > sites that are no longer there.

That works for me. Yeah we definitely agree that we don't want to remove stories for sites that no longer exist, but I wasn't sure what we should do about sites that have changed ownership and are obviously not the same site. I thought it might be confusing to the reader. Good idea about using archive.org, I always forget that site exists. --------------------------------- Frank Wiles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wiles.org --------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
