Anhaga's Links
Created | Updated Jul 30, 2005
This ongoing project began mainly as a reference for me, but I didn't doubt that others would find it useful as well. It became a little tedious to mess about with the GuideML for every single link I posted (there are so many!) so I soon decided to post them to a thread attached to this entry.
A concern was raised on
that there was becoming an unmanagable plethora of threads concerning links I had posted, so, after some discussion and experimentation, I've decided, with helpful advice from others, to adjourn much of my ongoing political posting and the discussion that ensues to the conversation list at the end of this entry. There is a simply reason that I posted so many links: Changing Minds, One at a Time
At some point I will hopefully get back and organise some of the newer links a little within the entry itself.
