A second step would be to add their personal web page addresses for the available ones . I think , in their web pages there is very valuable information also . I am trying to record such addresses as much as possible , but it is difficult to obtain them one by one . Perhaps , with a script generated e-mail campaign , their personal web pages may be collected easily . If they return a fixed formatted e-mail specifying their personal web pages , their addresses may be incorporated into that page again with a script . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
