I received a reply from the web manager at NMSS today regarding your question.

It's a two part reply as with anything it's not a simple question to answer.

I posed the question about broken links and sent the examples you gave me. Part of the problem is that a couple of the articles are on a server that the NMSS no longer has access to. They have changed providers twice since at least one of those articles was written.

They are in the process of upgrading again and the suggestion of adding a redirect for articles and information that is moved or archived has been added to the list of items they want from the new provider. It was a good idea.

In the meantime, they have upgraded and enhanced their search feature on their site which should improve the current capabilities to search for information.

However, that does not help with information that you currently have that is older links. The suggestion was to update your links about every 3 months or so. Or just make sure that if you provide information to advise that person that the exact link may be out of date and just direct them the to Home Page and to use the search feature with the subject.

I said I would find out for you and I did. The person I need to speak to was on vacation and got back to me as soon as possible.
