Well, if he felt concerned as to whether this was an endemic problem in that
part of the web world, he might do worse than checking the web as a whole.
The GUI-based version of webchecker (a neat tool that comes with this

523 total, 6 bad

<1% broken links is probably better than the average search engine output.

I am Cc'ing David Ascher on this mail, as I am sure he will be able to let
Fred have the correct reference (if he has not already).
