Explain how they work; >then add links to everything I can find on smart tags. I would suggest (if you want to something like this at all) that you just have your sniffing script add a little paragraph somewhere on the page (unobtrusively) that makes a note of the "smart"tags issue, with a link to a page that goes all out explaining your stance. I think it's rash to lose business over, but I fully agree with making your feelings known. If no one says anything, then nothing will keep the (or any) evil giant from doing what they want. Public opinion *does* matter, sometimes, but it has to be big enough. (i.e. enough people would have to do related things like this to make it a big enough deal to matter.) <shrug> Just my 2 cents. ~Nathan Lyle E-mail: natelyle(at)chartermi.net Web: http://www.nathanlyle.com Phone: (906)485-4806 "A true music lover is one who on hearing a blonde soprano singing in the bathtub puts his ear to the keyhole." - Anonymous
