What can I say, I learned html in the 20th century back when there
were more gopher servers than http servers. :-) Probably most of you
are saying gopher what? ... gopher was kind of like a text only web
server.  The first web server I installed was dual gopher/http.  You
set up your pages in a funky way so that they could be server with
either gopher or http protocols depending on what the client wanted.
Ahhh the good old days.

Anything you can give me to paste into the header.

I mostly fixed this for myself, but there are probably other places ... I
should grep through the whole thing soon.  Andrei included his email
address, Andrei if you want something different please let me know.

Yeah, some of the autogenerated stuff might be better without the
wrappers or else with the SSI stuff ... I'll have to poke around and
see if I need to enable this on the web server side????

Yes, it looks really nice ... but there are a few loose ends to clean
up like you say.
