Voila! ... my sentiments exactly - It's so easy to create web pages, but
maintaining them is another thing - especially it gets messy trying to
maintain lists *with annotations* - it's hard enough to keep up a list
without any annotations, just making sure links are valid, but then if you
have an annotation, you not only have to check the link, but you also have
to check to make sure your annotation is still accurate!
