Rmdir afp

I've done something that I really should have done a long time ago, which is to take down my afp guide. It wasn't originally written for the general public and I never rewrote it adequately for this.

I wrote it a year ago for a friend and, to be honest, I linked to it in the bent back tulips sidebar last December simply because I wanted things to fill up the navigation. Forgive me, I was naïve.

To be more brutally honest, it's actually the guide that I'd have wanted when I started to read afp almost two years ago. But that's more to do with my slightly obsessive nature, and wanting to know as much 'background' as I could before I joined in. The guide's not actually that appropriate for other afp-newbies because (having looked over it recently for the first time in months, and wincing) I've seen that it's potentially off-putting for newbies with its implicit mandate that These are the Things that you Should Know before you so much as start reading it.

That's not what I wanted, and the bad thing is that bent back tulips is rather Google-friendly, and so I'm getting very high rankings for even generic usenet guide search terms - "usenet guide top posting moron" (drops down to #2 if you exclude "moron"), "killfile filter plonk" - and this despite the fact that no one has ever linked to the guide.

So it's gone now. With the right HTTP Error, no less.
