While creating a maintenance headache whenever www.snuggie.com and/or www.r-9.net happen to modify the list of addresses they resolve to. This "solution" creates problems of its own; it is no more a "real solution" than the other. The only real benefit I can see to it is that it doesn't involve fixing the underlying lack and thus requires no effort from the rest of the world, and even that is a benefit only to that "rest of the world", not to the person you are offering it as a "solution" to. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouseat_private / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
