This is the reason I don't add links to my site any more - every yahoo
with an AOL disk was creating a VW vanity page and crying "link me!"
only to disappear 100 hours later.

I started working on, but never finished, a perl script to dynamically
manage a links page by validating them at regular intervals.  I am
a firm beleiver in the "set-and-forget" site maintentance model.
