Hi John,
Good to see your name on the discussion lists. I agree that the Locator
records are often a group's chance to make a good first impression and some group's
public face is not very good.
The records in the Locator are periodically checked but seem to go out of
date even quicker than they are validated. The last update was not that long ago
& at that time each US group's records were checked and, if the web site was
404 or problematic, the group was put on pending and the contacts emailed (many
bounced).
A large number of groups were put on pending yet I still come across ones
that have bad records. Problem is, it would be expensive to hire someone to
constantly check the records, so it is only done periodically.
When you come across a bad link, drop a note to email@hidden and it
will get checked. In the meantime, your letter is a good reminder to groups to
update their records regularly.
thanks
Sandy Foderick
