Apologies. A system update wrecked infed.org on July 26. We lost all our images and a lot of material. It took 10 days to get most of the pages viewable - and that involved moving all the files to a new home: infed.org/dir/. Unfortunately, it will be several weeks before the remaining pages and images are uploaded, and we have sorted out the search engine [at the moment, you need to go to the index].
