[Rhodes22-list] It's time to say good-bye to GeoCities

[John Lock]

I've got link checkers out the wazoo, that's not a problem.  However,  
they aren't really useful right now because I already know there are  
dozens (if not hundreds) of left over bad links in there.  Most of  
them are to old Javascripts and images from various GeoCities ad  
campaigns.  The fact that these don't work is not a problem because  
you can still navigate most of the content... just without the ads (no  
great loss).  Weeding out the "really broken" links for the "sort of  
broken" links is a tedious effort that I just don't have time for  
right now.  If you feel so inclined, have at it!

Cheers!
