Hi Chris,
What you mean, I think, is that you're doublecounting some of the
"repeated" broken links where the same link exists in many places and of
course each one is broken? Some things that are im****tant.... how HUGE
the site is, how many links there are!!! And is 3% large or small? I
think that's about what I would have thought it was. I think that's
neither large nor small but about what such a huge site, originally built
over ten years ago, has as a legacy.
