Both links work for me, but I have changed the original post copy to reflect your new URL. Or is it the responsibility of the person who 'owns' the URL to redirect old links to new ones? Some time back, I was responsible for a large site and the technical providers changed every single URL in spite of my repeated and early requests not to do it (it had been all too predictable)... I considered that they had broken the site; our opinions weren't mutual... As all of those links had changed, I considered it my responsibility as site editor to handle this change, whosever 'fault' it was - not that of those linking to me... (?) I’m wondering that too now.
