    You can only find a "link", not a "missing link." Once found it is no longer missing.

    What IS surprising, is that there is no image - not even the obligatory 100-pixel-across thumbnail, which links to a lame-ass 200-pixel-across "Large Picture".

    That qualifies as the missing link then, doesn't it.
