The 404 page has a refresh directive that loads the sitemap after 15
seconds. It looks like they are doing some site changes so they
probably haven't updated the about page yet.

Thanks for replying Andy

Another poster, in another group, agrees, but adds more, viz:

*

There are two redirects in that page, named "index2.php" that loads in
that frame.

The first is a HTML redirect command:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;
url=http://aumha.org/sitemap.htm">

The "15" indicates the amount of seconds to wait before re-direct to
sitemap.htm

The second is a Javascript re-direct, that will go to the same target
after 60 seconds:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function counter() {window.setTimeout("redirect()", 60000); }
function redirect() {window.location="http://aumha.org/sitemap.htm";
return;}


If you want to see the code, goto:
http://aumha.org/index2.php

And hit "show source" before the 15 seconds are up.

Apparently, "index2.php" is missing and a customized 404 error page
takes over to load the sitemap. See the same thing happen when you make
up a filename: http://aumha.org/david_brooks_esq.php

I disagree with your assessment of 'doing some site changes' - that page
has been like that for a *very* long time!

It's *not* what one might expect, IMO, from a specialist - *expert* -
Windows web site!

<q/p>

Welcome! In July 1999, I began this site as a small collection of
articles gathered from my newsgroup posts and OnComputers “Geek Speak”
radio broadcasts. With help and encouragement of friends and colleagues,
acceptance of the technical press, and the frequent visitation of
computer users around the world, it grew, in about a year and a half, to
become one of the most widely cited and referenced Windows web sites in
the world outside of www.microsoft.com itself.

(This isn’t bragging — it’s numb-brained humility in the face of it
all.) Please make yourselves at home and enjoy the site!

I’ve spent most of my life as a writer in one or another capacity, and
practiced law for 14 years (ten of those in private practice). Presently
I work in IT for Warner Music Group, and do occasional consulting for
the Los Angeles Coalition to End Hunger & Homelessness. Microsoft has
been kind enough to strengthen my résumé by gifting me with its annual
Most Valuable Professional award every year since 1999.

Quote - *Nobody Cares*!

That's exactly how Osama Bin Laden managed to live for five years right
under the noses of the Pakistani military!

Something untoward about Annexcafe User2User, Aumha and "Peter Foldes".

Can't you smell it?

The only odor is from that overly large broken bottle of HinkySauce that
you dropped and smashed on the deck of your boat.

No. You should try taking a shower.
