That's what I did.

Hmm, I don't know why. I didn't receive any error messages.

OK, I just assumed the e-mail icon was good enough if I wanted to mail you.

All the links at http://rsj.mobilixnet.dk/
I would appreciate if you kept the links to the html pages.

It is not generally accepted to link to other people's resources without
having got their permission. For that reason people shouldn't have to tell
you if they want their link removed. YOU should ask for permission in the
first place.

Here's a quote by Ken:

"Many people put in a lot of time and effort publishing their web pages
and offer some POV-Ray related materials to attract visitors to their
site. If you collect all of the resources available from the hundreds
of sites out there, and put it into one monster collection, there will
be no reason for people to visit the other web pages. Besides making
a lot of web pages instantly obsolete I am sure you also run the risk
of hurting the feeling of more than just a few people who enjoy having
regular visitors to their sites.

I personally never would, and never have, put someone else's material
on my own web page without first asking permission. I would consider
it in very poor taste to do so and it would show that a person has
very little regard or respect for copyright law. I think there is a
strong moral justification to contact the owner of the material for
permission prior to inclusion into any such collection."

> Thankyou for your understanding,

And thank you for your understanding too.

Greetings,

Rune
