I don't know if there are any cases in the IP pages but altering something
like this:
The old addresses for our page,
http://www.cfn.cs.dal.ca/path/filename.html
and
http://www.ccn.cs.dal.ca/path/filename.html
will soon be no longer valid. Please update your
bookmarks to point to
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/path/filename
and changing it to this:
The old addresses for our page,
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/path/filename
and
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/path/filename
will soon be no longer valid. Please update your
bookmarks to point to
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/path/filename
could be very confusing for visitors.
Remember, if you try to change all cats to dogs, the results could be
dogastrophic.
