 Not very good , but wonderful .


A second step would be to add their personal web page addresses for the
available ones .

I think ,  in their web pages there is very valuable information also .

I am trying to record such addresses as much as possible , but it is
difficult to obtain them one by one .

Perhaps , with a script generated e-mail campaign , their personal web
pages may be collected easily . If they return a fixed formatted e-mail
specifying their personal web pages , their addresses may be incorporated
into that page again with a script .


Thank you very much .
