Actually, it's a very good idea.


From their inception, these pages have been linked to a page that promises personal information. But as I've noted in the past, that page is among the least updated of this entire site. Not only is the personal information listed there no longer accurate, the links on that page don't lead anywhere. The sites to which they supposedly link are inactive, and have been inactive for a long time. I have plans for reactivating those pages as a sort of historical museum piece on the way we were, but a lot of reconstructing is called for, and I can't seem to find the time. For the foreseeable future, those links will continue to lead to a system message that the pages can't be located.

Recently a friend started reading the Boidem and he enthusiastically reported to me how much he enjoyed it. He mentioned that he also liked the idea of the links on my personal information page leading to dead ends. He thought it expressed something about how this site is constructed, about how I reveal information as part of, but only as part of, the columns. I had to think that one through for a while, but when I finally figured out that he was referring to the Who's That? page, I had to admit that I liked the idea, and sort of wished that I'd actually intended it.
