A WORD TO THE WISE:
Very often in my writings, I link back to previous articles of mine as a way of making available a more detailed treatment of a given subject. It's a pervasive academic practice. At times, however, the link concerned will cease to work after a while -- usually for reasons beyond my control. In such cases the article concerned is still available -- but at a different address. To find the article, putting one of the following in front of the filename will generally recover the article concerned:
http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/42197/20070526-0000/jonjayray.batcave.net/
http://jonjayray.110mb.com/
http://jonjayray.0catch.com/
For example, you might be trying to access articles as follows:
http://jonjayray.netfirms.com/main.html
http://jonjayray.tripod.com/menu.html
Neither article is now available at those addresses but you can find other versions as follows:
http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/42197/20070526-0000/jonjayray.batcave.net/main.html
http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/42197/20070526-0000/jonjayray.batcave.net/menu.html
"Dead" links are a besetting problem on the net but difficulties exist to be overcome! The Wayback Machine is also a good way of recovering "lost" files.
