The Web version appears to be working now.
It does seem to me that, at least, the regional index should be
included on the web page. Otherwise, the web-based directory will be a
very poor advertising mechanism.
The expressed rationale for leaving out the other indexes is the fear
that their presence would depress directory sales. Does our organization
really earn much money from directory sales?
Actually, at some point, search engines such as AltaVista will likely
pick up the directory pages but there will be a real lack of focus on
APG members. We will be lost among all of the other hits from such
engines.
Best wishes,
Bob
