I invite all interested parties to make the point to
<URL:mailto:webmaster at earthweb.com> that corrupting
existing URLs is not only The Original Sin and incred-
ibly hazardous karma for "The IT Industry Portal", but
also bad business.  Required reading on this subject is
the classic <URL:http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI>.
Pass it on.
