(The following is a warning to fellow WWWOFFLE-users to keep anything
recursive away from reading pages via WWWOFFLE, if you are an
AddCacheInfo user.)

Tinkering with wget --recursive, noticing the CPU meter was in the red
zone, I proceeded to ^C, and noticed chunks of my cache missing,
whereupon I contacted Dr. Anti Mallistic Bissle :-)

AMB> I cannot think of how this will have happened unless perhaps your
AMB> recursive request followed the link to delete the page.

That must have been it, my hogwild recursive request. Therefore please
add a CAPTCHA math test to that delete page... never mind, I will
instead post this as a warning to other users: happens about once a
year for me, I eat into those "delete" link landmines. Mom said use
some protection, but I can't find any in wwwoffle.conf, without
sacrificing the pleasure of, or having to maintain my own version of,
AddCacheInfo.

Well now that I have ADSL 256/64 I suppose it isn't as scary as
before, but still, what if in UNIX
$ find dir|cpio -o
caused
$ rm -r dir
you get the feeling.
