I am not the original author of the web site, nor is this its original location.  The original site opened up for business on April 7, 1999, and I discovered it a few days after that.  Much to my surprise, on April 15, 1999, the whole site was gone, replaced with this short message:

This web site has closed due to the "unfriendly" email I have received. I hope that it may have helped others in the short time it has been up, and perhaps it has inspired someone else to take up the cause who has a stronger stomach than I do. APS is indeed a valid format, no matter what anyone says or does. I would like to thank all those who submitted to Everything APS.

Wow.  That must have been some pretty nasty email to cause the poor guy to throw in the towel after a mere eight days!

I had emailed the original author with many suggestions, noting that I had been toying with the idea of putting up an APS site of my own until I saw his.  Now he had shut the site down, though he hoped he had "inspired someone else to take up the cause".  I don't know how strong my stomach is compared to his, but I figured, what the heck, I'll give it a shot.  So, late in same day that the original site went down, I dug its old pages out of my cache, changed the email addresses and links, and here we are.

One note:  I have not given the original author any credit anywhere on this new site since he closed down the original site to escape email harassment.
