BTW, for those that haven't noticed, I'm now managing the file via CVS.
http://dev.linuxkb.org/search/advsearch.html
The file on play no longer exists.

Basically we have people signing up to submit articles, etc.  We need to
say that we won't give out the email addresses out to people or spam them,
etc.  Also if we ever impliment cookies, that we won't use that
information to track individuals, etc.  I am going to start on this
tonight so I should have something ready soon.

That was the general idea.  The whole concept of a link that linked back
to the same page seemed kinda silly. :-)

I was only trying to demo an idea.  It's not critical enough to delay
development.

Actually once I opened it up in XEmacs and set all the borders to 2 so I
could see the table layout it was quite usable.  There was a few things
that you did that I didn't understand why you did them until I changed
it... and then quickly back to the way you did it.  :-)
