.......Yes Robert!!  People ARE interested in the Archives!!  They are
also doing a good job of finding guru's new website -- which has recently
been updated with new material.....  I liked the comment I received from
one reader:  "John Moulder needs to look at how "we" are doing it....."
(From a reporter who does not wish to be identified.....)

Cheerio......  (Keep that nose to the grindstone, Robert....  It IS
important ... and it IS appreciated.....)

Roy:

Well ... it appears that people have actually been linking to documents
in the archives. I have had 1200 404 errors since I re-arranged the site
(that is 1200 documents requested for which there is no document at that
address, the vast majority of which were in archives/emf-l.) This is
most unfortunate and unanticipated. (I doubt that it could be search
engines ... I requested the site be re-indexed by about four of the big
ones, and they could be looking at old links to remove them, but I think
it's more likely outside links into the archives, because the search
engines show up in the traffic stats because of their GROSS amount of
traffic.)

This good news and bad news. It is bad news because it is
inconveniencing people; it is good news because PEOPLE ARE USING THE
ARCHIVES!

I wish I would have organized the archives differently at the outset,
but people will get used to the new organization, and it really is
superior to the old one.

FYI: in the old system, all the files were in archives/emf-l, but now
there are folders for each month and year -- Jan1999, Feb1999 etc., so
messages from December of 1998 would be at
http://www.wave-guide.org/archives/emf-l/Dec1998/

Still have some details to work out, (like the Library and the Forum)
then it's on to developing new content. There is a "new" (have not been
there in a while) document at the EMF RAPID EMF-DATA site on average
exposure by environment that I want to check out ... I "grabbed" a copy
today, while verifying their link was still good ... think I will read
it now ...

Take care --

rob't
