but suppose i specify this for start_urls:
http://www.....com/sections/blah/section1/
http://www.....com/sections/blah/blah/blah/section2/
and there aren't any significant sub-directories, wouldn't that mean that i dont
need to use restrict in the form since it's already restricted in the start_urls?
thx
