the website "description" flagged earlier has been updated

[Michael Herman]

in the course of our earlier conversation about websites, kaliya flagged
some language that shows up in google search results.

it's a bit of text, only about 150 characters.  so far as i can tell, it
shows up only on one page, the openspaceworld.org home page.  it is not text
that's normally viewed when browsing pages.  it lives only in a "meta tag"
that is read and displayed by search engines.  the text she flagged was the
description of openspaceworld.org as "THE worldwide home of open space..."
my best guess from looking at archived copies here is that i wrote that text
sometime in 2000 or 2001.  obviously a lot has changed since then.

all that said, she is right in noting that it's no longer an appropriate
description.  i've changed this text tonight and have no idea how long it
might take to percolate through the global mind of google and other sites,
but at least it's on its way.

thanks for catching that one, kaliya.
