Could not be spelt out more clearly.
Nevertheless, just in case there are more people like me, it might help
to <repeat | put a reference to> the advice in the the "DontGet" section
of the configuration file.

This raises another issue.
The INSTALL instructions for WWWOFFLE-2.8 clearly spell out the need to
run "upgrade-config.pl" to adjust to the changes from preceding
versions. Before accepting this advice, I checked to see what the
changes were (in CHANGES.CONF) and the current state of my
newly-installed "wwwoffle.conf" file. From my recollections, the
location of the file had moved (from /etc to /etc/wwwoffle), but the new
"wwwoffle.conf" file already had all the new features. So I ignored the
the advice in the INSTALL file and believed the statement in CANGES.CONF
which reads:
"other programs can make changes from any version 2.x config files".
Am I leading with my chin? I did need to re-add the "DontGet" list
manually, but everything else worked - presumably because I had
previously accepted most of the suggested default values.

Mea culpa.

Tried that and failed. The URL did not want to know me.
