WHAT'S NEW?

This is The Lounge's new MAIN page, combining the functions of the old WELCOME and HOME pages.  The purpose of this change is to simplify both site maintenance for the owner, and site navigation for its esteemed guests—you.  Please read the instructions below to determine whether you need to make any changes to maintain easy access to the content of this website.

• If you have bookmarks, favorites, or links to The Lounge's former HOME page <4thr.org/lounge/home.htm>:
  Please redirect them to this page, <4thr.org/lounge/index.htm>, or simply <4thr.org/lounge/>.

• If you arrive at the old HOME page after clicking a "MAIN" link anywhere on The Lounge website:
  Please use the "Contact Owner" link on the FEEDBACK menu at the top right of either the old HOME page or this MAIN page to report the problem, specifying the page and link that brought you to the old location.

• If you arrive at the old HOME page after clicking a link on any other website: Please contact the owner of that website to report that the target URL for The Lounge website has been changed to 4thr.org/lounge/index.htm.

The old HOME page will be retained for one year after the change (through January 2019), to continue serving any personal links or browser favorites / bookmarks to it.  However, any changes to The Lounge website will be reflected only on the menus on this MAIN page; the old HOME page will not have current information.  A prominent link to this MAIN page is posted on the HOME page, for any guests who may find themselves at the old spot.

Links to all other Lounge pages should not be affected by this change.  Except for combining the functions of the WELCOME and HOME pages, navigation of the rest of site should remain exactly as it has been.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

USEFUL AND INFORMATIVE WEBSITES

• Fact Check – don't be suckered by ideological propaganda and "alternative facts"

• How Stuff Works – for the naturally inquisitive

• Politifact – features a handy graphic "Truth-O-Meter," but has been found to be in error on occasion

• Select Smart – easy, methodical selection of everything from food to philosophy

• Snopes – rumor and fraud control for business, medicine, military, politics, religion, sex, etc.

FRIENDS' WEBSITES

• Dark Childe's Sanctuary – must see for yourself

• Gearloose – eccentric crank rocks

• A Land of Contrasts – the universe and its language

• The Mouse House – possibly the coziest site on the web
