Yes. I am well aware of that fact.

That sounds about right.

If you want to see it updated, then either I need to 
have assurances that Hans will not be having any more accidents 
(allegedly) that clobber my CVS commits, or you will need to get 
someone else to do it. Talk to Stan maybe....

Actually, it varies a fair amount. One of the reasons that the 
old site comes out higher is because it is cross-referenced in 
more categories in various directories. In the dmoz open 
directory, it is linked to one additional category. I could 
counter this by simply removing the primary reference to it, but I 
think that would be overstepping the bounds of my editorial 
discretion on dmoz....
