"Will you ever be removing any of these resources?" A question asked in all seriousness by a delegate on the course I was concluding in Friday, as he looked through the huge range of pages we have here.

I'm not a politician, so I can answer a question simply - the answer is "No - I can't see circumstances in which I would pull material."

Ah - but there's a slight simplification there; if you're seeing this through the http://www.wellho.net/horse/ URL - the front page of "The Horse's Mouth" blog - the it will disappear in the next few days - it'll be gone from this page by the 28th September 2009. But it WILL be accessible through the archive http://www.wellho.net/mouth/2410_Removal-of-technical-resources-from-this-site.html now, and for the foreseeable future.

As I write articles ... as program samples get added to the site too ... it grows. And pictures get added too. I can quote some impressive figures. But this does mean that however we index content, any article that starts off easy to find in a short index is going to get harder to find over time, as the tree that you want gets mixed up in other woods. We do categorise by topic - so you can use our two level directory structure via our modules page, or a pancake listing via our global index page. Our latest newsletter will give you links to the latest five blog articles on each of a dozen subject categories, with an option to expand a category of your choice and see all article.

Where material becomes seriously outdated ... (there are some articles that fall into that category already) and it's not obvious from the text, I'll go back in and add updates, or cautions to the reader. But never (well hardly ever) pull material - I guess I would if someone withdrew copyright permission from an image I have used, or if one of our scam articles turned out to be unfounded ...
