> extremely large data set.

> Second, the Key Resource award is exclusive. We get literally
> hundreds of people requesting that their page be added to one
> or more topics per week. All of these requests are denied. The
> only way to get listed as a Key Resource is to achieve enough
> popularity for our analysis to select your pages automatically.
> We do not accept fees, offers of link exchanges, free advertising,
> or bartered livestock as inducements to add new sites to our lists.
> Fewer than one page in one thousand will ever be selected as a
