Argh! I didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing
that out.
Wouldn't page caching sort this, though?
I have something of a love/hate relationship with caching. It
solves some problems, and it creates others. I'd like to avoid
it if possible, and I think it is possible. But I may be proven
wrong about that if people create lots of other link-fest pages.
