[WEB4LIB] RE: 99.9% of web sites obsolete?

[Sloan, Bernie]

Paul,

I resent the inference that I was "sniping". I was clarifying the point that
Shirl Kennedy raised about posting guidelines.

I excerpted the excerpt, necessarilly removing certain images and text for 
editorial reasons. Next time I'll just post the URL so discussion stays on

people might want the text immediately without having to click through to
it. 
My apologies.
