My excuse for lack of comprehension is that I was sleep deprived. The reason for the JS is crystal clear to me today. Thank you for your patience in explaining things slowly in words even I could understand. I particularly like that the rel=canonical works correctly, no matter which site hosts the content and which version is viewed. We might get a temporary search engine dip for the renames, but with all the links still existing and all pointing to one canonical address which has the same content, I think we're fine and will end up better than ever, because old chapter 58 will give rel=canonical to new chapter 60, which will have updated-but-similar content, so rel=canonical might be more trusted (because it's more accurate). So we end up being even more likely to give authoritative correct information high up in search engine result pages. Thanks Mike, -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
