Currently you are not allowed to remove the last two links!<BR>
<BR>
Since this script was designed to work with any HTML formatting, if the number
of links falls below two, the script would have no way of figuring out what
type of separator goes between links; therefore, we can't let you delete the
last two. If you want to remove one of them, please add another link first!<BR>
<BR>
Okay, so you caught us in a bug! Just think of it as an added feature!
(The script maintains a minimum number of links so your site never looks lame!)<BR>
<BR>
Here's our 3 part rationalization:<BR>
<OL>
<LI>If you have two or fewer links, do you really need this script!
<LI>For those of you trying to delete all the links and re-enter them to avoid doing the sort routine, shame on you, it really isn't that hard!
<LI>It's a reasonable price to play for the added flexability of allowing you guys to format your own link pages and still being able to use the script to update them!
