  • http://icn2.umeche.maine.edu Conradin

    I know we have tons of broken links this site is +100,000 pages deep. w3c link validator works great, but the recursion only goes 150 pages deep. Still you can opt for nice clean output which makes working with it easy.

    Besides, why would I want to work on more than 150 pages at one time?
