Steven, for what it's worth, around 2 months ago I requested web-dev-related
bookmark files from any WCer's willing to contribute. In my spare time
(which has been verrry sparse lately), I've been sorting them, weeding out
the garbage and outdated links, and compiling them in a database which I
intend to put on the web for WCer's (and whoever) to use. It should act as a
good 1st resource for some of those oft-repeated questions.
If you (or anyone else) would like to contribute your web-dev-related
bookmarks, please email them to me direct: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in
Netscape bookmark file format. Please open the file in a text editor and
crop out all the bookmarks that are not web-dev/web-consulting related,
thanks. When I get the compilation on the web I'll post a notice here.

Yeah, and maybe some posts are getting even longer as typing skills improve?
:-P
