I think specifically the problem here (and the real reason this should not be done) is that a crawler (using get requests) can actually delete an object. To me, this is the real danger and the real issue and the reason for avoiding this type of web coding. Not because "it's evil", or "it will make the web unhappy" or "Matt won't be my friend". ;-) Jim > > You should listen to Matt.
