Yes, they are like indexed directory of websites put in
by users, that a visitors can make use to find web sites
and browse, in the fields / subjects of their interests.

An example page is the first page of the sites listing
for category:people.normal for which the URL is :

<http://internettrash.com/displaytrash.exe?type=people&subtype=normal&order=01&keyid=>

A visitor browsing online, the home page of
internettrash : <http://internettrash.com/> can reach
the above with two clicks - first clicking "People"
under Community Sites then "Normal" for Subcategories.

An online visitor can proceed to see pages following the
first page by clicking Next 50 button in each successive
page (- as each page lists 50 sites with final page
could be less than 50). The sites are listed in a
tabular form with 3 columns - whose headings are : User,
Subject and Rating.

The entry under User for a site is the Alias and the
entry under Subject is the Title - both set by the site
author. An User entry and its Subject entry are
click-able links to the homepage of the site.

What I found was that by ACCMAIL methods the above URL
for the first page CAN be reached and fetched, but
thereafter trying to fetch subsequent page(s) FAIL.
:-(

I had tried using WWW4MAIL forms approach (in which we
can click the next 50 button coming with WWW4MAIL
server's modified form) as well as by means of direct
fetching of the URLs of subsequent pages (those URLs I
gathered while by online browsing at a commercial
centre).

In all cases the response had been "No More Data Found".
But for category: people.normal there are 4 pages as I
had seen online - indeed most of the sites of the fellow
website-by-email members are in  Page 4 bottom half ! So
this seems to be a limitation to ACCMAIL methods with
potential for confusing a new user making use of ACCMAIL
methods to navigate to see if his / her site has got
listed in the specified category.

Another issue is on multiple links - that is entering
for different categories. The official definitions for
Category and  Title that I posted earlier from the URL -
<http://www.Internettrash.com/emailpub.html> certainly
indicate that multiple links can be setup, one per each
category.

But for by-email users like us, there is a question of
whether things can get messed up if we try to set up
many links - like SZS had some problems because of case
sensitivity problems of Alias.  I would try setting
multiple links only when such doubts get cleared fully
sometime in future.
