[LINK] Agimo info site frustrations (was going to say sucks)

[John Hilvert]

Try the indispensable Pia Waugh. She looks after the site, these days. I've

Link checkers only alert to broken links not inappropriate or incorrect
links.

She responds promptly and effectively to notices of anomalous links, I've
found.
