kuri, I'm not sure I understand your question. I just did a quick skim of the site you linked to (which is new to me), and it seems to be functioning. It has lots of links, eg, to informational sites about abortion.

Was it just down when you were looking for it?

Strange, the site that I get seems to be about skin creams. The link posted above leads me to a link for some kind of 'clarification cream', and the rest are similar.

But I've never seen it before either. Was it supposed to have something else?

NWOntarian, I get to the cream first too.

But click one of the sub-topics to the left of the page you land on - see all the abortion sub-topics? Lots of further information and links there.

I'm not getting any from any particular link on the page, but doing a search for 'abortion' does pull up a list. It could be that I'm just still tired and missing something.

In any event, weird.

The domain name expired on whatever was at that site beforehand, and was picked up by an advertiser. This sort of page is fairly common, the links that are displayed are based on searches that lead to that site.

I'm assuming that the site was previously an abortion information site. The advertiser has scooped up the domain, looked at what people search for to find that site, and then put related links that pay them per click. It's a fairly automated process nowadays to get these things running - I doubt the people who now own it have any direct knowledge of what the site previously was.

The "Enquire about this domain" link is usually a dead giveaway.

Wasn't this site (the abortion information site) one of Audra's creations?

Incidentally (now that I have your attention Heywood), Audra has a great article about the future of NAC in the latest issue of This Magazine. They tend to update their website about a week after the print issue hits the stands.

Yes, it was. I wanted to refer a friend to it but I guess it is no more.

Oh, Heywood: I should think that you just proved Pavlov was pretty smart.

What I'd like to know is, what's the equivalent of Pavlov's dog biscuit, here.

The occasional pictures of herself Audra posts, perhaps.

Wouldn't those be the bell? It was the bell that induced the salivation.

But only after the mutt had been conditioned to expect some kind of reward. Evidently, just a mention of A****'s name acts as a bell.

Did I mention that there's also a very nice picture of Audra at the front of the magazine?

You are smart.

Even smart people make mistakes. I'm sure you could repost the information under a new domain name. Don't let this valuable resource go to waste.

You're probably not helping poor Heywood with your choice of words, by the way.
