Default Structural Links Page

Could anyone tell me what ever happened to that page.

I found it in my data and thought it would be a good idea to bring it back.

It was formally introduced by Bob O'Conners and John Bowman had added to it.

It would be benificial to everyone to have access to this.

Thanks guys and I am open for any suggestions on how one could go about managing and adding to the list so it might be available to all Members at any given time.

When one is not sure of something and a little research is required, this would be an excellent tool.

Thanks

Gerry, how you doing? I think the guys are trying to have fun.

I looked for that link in nachi.org and could not find it.

How do we access all these links under Nachi.org?

If that was accessible by the Members at will, would that not be a good source of educational resorce for them?

Second, how and who is capable of adding to those links under the proper catogory.?

Basically what I was trying to do or say in my post above.

And no, I will not play with your log, but permission to persue what I have been trying to say would be great.

Marcel

Well, I figured we could start by consolidating and adding as we go.

I will work on it as free time comes around and hopefully keep the list to go on.

Added new line item and link.
