    Tibor Miseta, you wrote:
    "Unfortunately that link does not work, maybe just for you, as the owner of the site. I suspect this is because Google cancelled publishing the 'Classic Google sites' and force the publishers to migrate to the 'New Google Sites'.

    Yes, it has been closed for well over a year. That is quite correct, and I think you're right that Gary either still has access as the original 'owner' of the site or possibly there's some caching going on. For anyone else, it's a "404". It doesn't exist.

    But all is not lost, not by any means, and with a little effort the site can be reconstructed, and many links can be reset. There is a substantial copy of the original site at archive.org. I linked to this just a few days ago in a "note" on one of Gary's posts. Digging through the archive.org copy/copies is rather tedious. If someone or some group among you wishes to do the work of collecting the files in a form close to the original (that doesn't mean just grabbing bits and pieces of content... it means getting the complete stuctural 'html' files etc from the archive), then we can rebuild it under navlist.net. For example, the original file structure and content would exist under navlist.net/garylapook or something like that. Links within NavList messages, going back many years, could be modified in code to refer to the repaired site. This project could be completed in less than two weeks. If there are no volunteers, then someone could pay me to do the work.

    This is NOT a good topic for public NavList discussion. If any of you are interested in doing the work to collect the files from archive.org and possibly elsewhere, please email me: Frank@ReedNavigation.com.
