WHY do you want to see the links? I CAN compile them, but it will take a
while, and I don't see the value. So explain to me why and then I will see
if it is worth my time to do so.
And I don't see why you object to me sending MY customers to your website.It
is like in Miracle on 34th Street where Macy's sent customers to Gimbel's!
