...or more. I have been a little less agressive this year because
of increaed job responsibilities but in past years I was easily
putting in the 20 hours a week plus.

The collection is currently an estimated 80% my own, the remainder
submitted material. Often the information provided by those submitting
the links is lacking so after visiting the site and verfying the

I appreciate the praise. I have endeavored to try to describe each link
where possible so that the collection is not only informative but also
meets the requirements of a searchable data base. It still needs a lot
of work but it is better than many I have seen offered.
