Yeah, but doug said that HE followed "bottompad".

I myself had tried "content" somewhere in that chain of links
(wild goose chase for me), and THAT page was just more garbage-looking
links.

Please do go to that site listed in the 10th or so line of the
body of this email, and YOU see what general rules you can 
come up with that will work with this (crazy) site.

Serious.  Maybe YOU can find something that makes sense.

Myself, I've never heard of a "bottompad" -- but then, I don't
program html.

Thanks!
