    It really is an awful job, I know... I appreciate you are doing it, 
thank you. I am going to think on how I can streamline the process for you.

    I know it took me bloody forever when I tried to do it, even longer 
than it is taking you, but partly because I am very distractible some days.

   I also discovered some links were not so precious ... not worth 
recovering, but that is subjective. I did not locate all the links 
originally, percyval and my Tribe gathered most of them. I discovered a few 
from my own lightworker phase, which I deleted.

     Hillary sort of did part of it already, maybe you did not see that 
email? I thought she emailed you directly as well as posting to the list.

    I think she just went through the pop-up files and redirected broken 
links to the wayback machine, and deleted ones that could not be recovered, 
but she did not search google for replacements or archive them. I searched 
google first, when I tried it, and wayback second.

   I came across a beautiful link for the matgod lesson yesterday:
http://www.goddessmound.com/xpages/buriedtreasure.html

   I also have a folder of links collected over the years, but they are not 
in any sort of order to indicate what lesson I intended them for, and some 
of them might have already been added when I created the FSTlinks page a 
few years back.

    Some of the lessons have changed radically on edit, you might want to 
look at the word documents.
