Rather I was hoping people would build out pages of information about their industry and IF and only IF their site has good reference material then as per wiki rules to link out to their site. i think if you volunteer on a site to make it better it just doens't make sense to spam it. it is better to figure out a win win situation for everyone :) hi mike,

And then, so it seems, nobody actually had a recent complete "disk image" to use to restore what got ruined. They're now going through and doing what we poor saps do when our HD dies and we never made a backup -- reinstalling stuff from scratch, then going through and setting preferences, tweaking, etc. Of course, if nobody remembers the exact settings that were being used... it becomes trial and error and a lot of frustration all around.
