Profound Bob profound. Not even in Austin do they say God is a geek. Maybe in Seattle.

Oh yeah I'd agree. Exactly my point. Should have been better managed as she went. It is touted as a knowledge sharing forum. So preservation of the knowledge and accessibility to it should have been
priority one. Too late now so you advise "get over it".
Were I a mod I think I might say instead;
"We see your point,thanks for your obsevation, but at this time we are unaware of a workaround or solution. We will ask our tech admin about it and get back with you, either way".

I never think of you Bob as one to lose touch, but my condolences for your loss. Very glad you were able to overcome it. Time heals most things they say.
I too am a URL bookmarker, mainly because the subscribe-to-thread function is so slow and redundant. I must have a thousand or so saved.
If the tinkerers or "progressives" have ruined most of those, time won't heal my disgust.
IMHO good "librarians" don't condone nor excuse book burning.

I must respectfully disagree...fully.
Cheers, I'm off to check some bookmarks.
Oh and that old "price to pay for progress" cliche is something we seem to be hearing most every day in the news with plenty more to come I suspect.
