Brian:
Yesterday, between discussions with Marc and others, I took a quick look at the Resource List and discovered that there are so many broken, hi-jacked or missing links (probably organization closings) that I will start a more serious effort to examine the entire list and provide you with a report. It is going to take some time, so be patient with me.
Thanks, ----Dave

Just for the record, I'm about half-way through the list. (All the way down to Internet Radio/Streaming Broadcasts.) So far, a total of 18 broken, missing, stolen or non-functional links... including those to higher education entities which surprised me. I will prepare a comprehensive report when time permits but wanted you to know... I'm on the job.
A few of the links actually attempt to open but only identify who it leads to... and that further action is required by the party involved in using the link. It looks like a link can be "taken over" or stolen if abandoned or neglected by the original owner... in many cases.
Surprisingly, Muses Muse opens, then explains it has been closed. I was surprised they did not take the link down a few years ago when this was announced.
Enough for now.
Later,
----Dave

Just so everybody know... this task appears to be a "fool's errand." I have a bit too much on my "plate" at present but will return... not real soon, if time permits. The resource list is a great idea but so much is changing as related to the internet... it requires constant vigilance to keep links current. Sorry!

Would anyone like to adopt the resource page?
Let me know. It just means deleting the bad links and adding good ones as suggested by members.
