(many links that were not working or had devolved to become either useless or mere portals for blatant sales-pitches were eliminated).
Some of the sites on this page employ databases
to find, sort, and present contact information and/or links; most
sites (like PfW) simply have pages of links. One common conundrum
is to attempt to be comprehensive while employing some scheme to prevent the pages from becoming too-oversized
for efficient browsing. Additionally, some server-based technologies
seem to have difficulty maintaining logical organizational schemes
for grouping and sorting their content ... (or lazy humans doing incomplete
coding).
