Next to this forum, my favorite part of this place is the tutorials. I can't get enough of 'em. When I have a problem I check those after I read FAQs and TFM, before I post here for help. Having had experience as a technical trainer, I know how incredibly difficult it is to write one that is effective and works. When I find a good one that really helped on a project or even a well written one that I enjoyed, I try to send a note of appreciation to the author. My hat is off to those who attempt writing them, Thank You, your efforts are greatly appreciated. BTW, the Angie portrait one is awesome, everyone should check it out. Now that I've laid down the appropriate suppressive cover fire of accolades to a potentially hot LZ, I'll commit with my question and minor complaint. Since 'osity doesn't host them, just the links, is there someone who QC's the links? I understand people move to different hosts or just plain fold up shop, but some of the bad links have been around for quit awhile. Probably just me, but it is frustrating to try to go back to a good tut and get hit with a 404. When that happens in the free stuff, the links seem to get fixed pretty fast, nature of the beast maybe, but I consider a tut just as valuable as a freebie. What's the story on the process of maintaining that section? If I've posted in the wrong place, I apologize. C&D seems more of a place for thermonuclear strikes, this is just a minor issue. Oh, and thanks to everyone here who has helped on anything, keeps me coming back, can't be said for other sites that I've quickly forgotten. Jbear
