Yes, you are right.
These webmasters they will tend to do that.

Oops.
This is a message that is best off list. I was thinking it was me writing to
Joy.
I will not post about this any longer.
Contact me off list, anyone who wants to read the letters to the editor in
the New York Times in response to the Edward Hoagland essay.

If you use h to go down the page by headings, it will say a heading called
what's new, and the link directly underneath it was to the New York Times
article.  It's probably seven headings down.  Now I went and checked on it
to be sure, and they've changed it.  Darn them!  It was there yesterday.
LOL Joy

I don't know.
I did not find a What's New link when searching for it on the NFB home page,
while using the Link Search in JAWS.
And that home page has a ton of stuff to go through.
My patience maybe is a bit short. I am sure it was there if you said it was!
Ha ha.

Please take no offense, Joy.
I really was glad to know about the letters to the editor.

Rik
