FRANKLIN MINT ARTICLE LINKS

  Dick Johnson writes: "The two links in this week's item on
  Franklin Mint both led to a dead end.  Both led to
  delcotimes.com  but neither had a Franklin Mint story.
  Perhaps for this daily it changes text that often.  FM now
  is old news for them. I searched for their archive news
  stories but could not find them.

  Perhaps this is a persistent problem in giving out news
  links. It ain't there when you want it. Even a day or two later.

  I am also leery of putting any Internet address in any
  published book -- or citing this in any bibliography. How
  long will it be available?   It is always questionable.

  I just read that CD technology will be obsolete in five years
  (before I had the chance to get my directory published in
  print and available on CDs!)   This is frustrating.  But it does
  point out the certitude of a bound book.  As long as there
  are human eyeballs, the technology will always exist for
  downloading the printed page!"

  David Gladfelter unlocked the secret of the missing pages.

  [The broken link problem is a never-ending battle for
  web publishers.  That's why I like to quote key sections
  of articles or web pages referenced in The E-Sylum.  At
  least the quoted text will remain in the E-Sylum archives
  even if it disappears 10 minutes later from the original
  web page.   I believe most citations meet the "fair use"
  criteria for copyrighted works, but when in doubt I do
  prefer to err on side of over-quoting.  We'll be happy to
  retract or expunge anything the original author objects
  to, but in six years of editing The E-Sylum, this hasn't
  happened yet.  -Editor]
