Abi writes about link rot

Abi posts on link rot :'web pages that are no longer available at their old URLs -- and the inconvenience it causes to internet users'. This is a problem, particularly somebody like me, who uss the blog mainly for learning and modifying my views. Since I cannot do much about it, I try to include some crucial parts of the linked article in the post. If the link does not work after a while, passages from the article seem to help locating the article or some thing equivalent. Of course, this does not work all the time, is a bit of pain and I usually get distracted by other articles along the way.
