[WEB4LIB] RE: Domain name lapsed

[Masters, Gary E]

All:

How about a disclaimer message that web addresses do change with time and
some new links may offend?  This seems to be an adult product in the
original sense of the words.  I don't see people dying if they see a flash
of porn.

Go ahead and use the CD.

Just my opinion.

Gary

	This seems to be a growing trend.  This is the third instance I've
run
	across in the last few months where this has happened.

	The previous one was also this week - a breast cancer information
site for
	patients has now gone the same route.  The unfortunate thing is, a
	multimedia publisher we work with to create CD's of patient related
cancer
	information was including web links on the CD's, and is now in a
quandry as
	to how to deal with this - especially the packaged copies of the
discs that
	they've already got in stock...

	Cheers,

	Tim
