Note that the criteria for Open Pages membership are mostly mechanical, as the hope is to be more inclusive rather than exclusive. The vast diversity and random interconnectedness is the key strength of Open Pages. However, this also means touring Open Pages sites may bring you across something you don't agree with, approve of or like. You've been warned.

Yet, each of us knows the struggle of trying to keep a list of links to our peers. Everyone's perspective is limited somehow. With a webring, you're not limited to one social realm.

Without a webring, you might have only found the attorney's journal and her links to other journals of other attorneys.
