John,
I was all thrilled about your idea...I started digging through my huge
internet/web binder, came up with some pretty long url's, but when I
tested them, not one of the 3 I had chosen worked any longer. They were
from late spring. 6 months on the internet is ancient!

Does anybody out there have one that works?
