An interesting perspective, never much thought about rec's. And it's true, many folk won't bother with obtaining a password.

I'm thinking that if I linked here only to my site, I would continue posting in other places as well as there are too many people out there who really don't like LJ/IJ at all, which is really ironic as I used to be one of them. Which is why I'm thinking the multiple links to several archives might be the best, not only from a 'hedging my bets' kind of way, but also because many people have many ways of wanting to read things and some sites serve better than others. *G*

I hear you about the server failure though, and have always been a bit paranoid in that regard, which is why I've been religious with my site's back-up, and why I also maintain a hidden mirror site as well.

Thanks for the feedback; it was most helpful.
