Are you sure about that? Absolutely, positively sure?

I've seen a site or two that said *Get your eyes off my [expletive] code* 
-- but look at the scrollbar.

It's there, they just put lots of carriage returns in there. I don't go 
snooping at code for no reason -- if I admire a site or a technique or I'm 
trying to respond to a query, then I need to look at what's going on.

As far as some of the other *code hiding* techniques -- there's lots of 
good stuff in the HWG list archives and I'll let real technique-types 
explain it, but in short -- you can't really hide your code. If someone can 
see it, they have a copy of it. Whether it's in the cache, *buried* or 
disabled right mouse click (very, very annoying since some right clicks are 
necessary--like bookmarking in NN -- but you disable them all!!!) -- if 
they can *see* it, they can *keep* it -- some are just better at figuring 
out how.

Good luck and I hope that helps a little.
