On a related note: We've had several mapping tools break recently
because the original developer here made an address lookup function
dependent upon the HTTP_REFERER variable. Now that so many people use
personal firewall software that erases referer info, we started to get
so many complaints about our mapping tools being broken that I had to go
through each one and pass in a returnURL variable to the original
function. Oh the messy code I have to clean up here. Job security, I
suppose. :-)
