We hate dead links! An entry that was re-checked for validity is marked with a green check mark followed by the date ( yyyy-mm-dd). An entry that isn’t working is marked by “dead link” in red followed by the date (DEAD LINK yyyy-mm-dd). If you find a dead link, please let us know. Periodically, we’ll recheck dead links to see if they are working again.
