Why should I bother when the site exists!  It is excellent.  I will
make a link to it from my site (finzi).

What might be nice is for each site to mirror the other.  I can't find
in the web page the email address of the person in charge.  Is it you?

And, Hadley, I don't need money to establish a mirror.  I have another
computer I could use for it (which already backs up the main site).
But it uses the same Internet connection (even another outlet in the
same wall plug).  The need for a mirror is partly to protect against
correlated risks (fire in the building, network outages at the
university, terrorist attacks, etc.) through diversification.
