I feel rather strongly about the value of indices; I use them ALL the time! But, of course, I also feel queasy about the idea of using 5 separate backlinks to take someone (back) to the "Family-Suitable Dogs" index entry, rather than the other 4 anchors that had that entry as a target.
Someday! Someday, we'll have a really good way for this to work. (Hell, maybe a solidly-functioning "back" key/button will be enough.)
So, I'm in the corner of indices,
solidly. I just wish that the soft/firmware made it a bit less clunky.
