Thanks Josh..
That will work for Blogger but not posterous (doesn't allow JS).
I can't imagine that others don't (or won't) have the same need. Plus
I think only the linked program will know if URL parameters really
matter. Most Bloggers just add stuff and have no idea how it works. I
wouldn't want them to have to tag every link just to skip
translation.. especially if the html at the link can tell you
notranslate!!
Thanks again
Chris
