On the matter of the rest of the External Links; it is a waste of time to do things in this manner. Obviously, at some point in time, each of those links were thought worthy enough by someone to put on the page, and relevant enough to not have been removed by those who patrolled new edits. The more efficient approach would be to leave the External Links in place and discuss which ones are not relevant, appropriate, etc. I for one do not have the time to play these endless games steeped in false cordiality.
