Here a paper from volume 7 has the article title on line 164 while volume 8 paper is on line 40.

@nicholasjhorton is really puzzled. Some hypotheses:

  1. something changed in the way that the journal papers were organized
  2. something changed in the way that the Wayback machine handled them
  3. there's something different on the two computers that you are using

Let's investigate further: can you both please download the html files for two papers from each of the two volumes into https://github.com/nicholasjhorton/lost-jse-issues/tree/main/html_test:

AUTHOR_8_1_Edelson.html, etc.

Then we can compare them.

@nicholasjhorton thinks that the differences will be trivial and innocuous. But he'd sleep better knowing that.

We may have lost the link to the Wayback machine for volume 7. But I don't think that we need to make herculean efforts to retrieve this info. So I'm closing this now.
