nope... and as warren pointed otu before, that i made/make
passive agressive statements :-)

but it does make sense that users seldom should ever get
404 errors on pages and directories that existed before

imho, a good "web-ber" wil redirect old pages to new pages
and would thusly merit their pat on the back

nah ... i wouldnt count on people ...

psuedo code
  grep http */*.html | cut | uniq | sort "it" out
  ls -l "it"  to see if it exists
  if error .. you have a missing link or missing page
/psuedo code

  should be a few minutes scripting and couple hrs of testing
  on the various links that might show up in all kinds of whacky ways
	( tons of boundry case testing )

  looking for "<a " would probably be better for subsequent
  cut and filter to extract the url

or one could google/yahoo "misisng link" programs and see
what shows up ... by the time you go thru the first 3-5 pages
of google hits, you'd/we'd have written your custom script

sorry for the extra work, but it seems these political 
issues can be resolved to some extent if we can find those
previous pages ..
